Hello, I don't know if this is the right place for me to ask this question, but I'm going to give it a shot.
I recently read an article about building my own router and how I could build something that would put any commercial router I could buy to shame.

Here is the build:
Case: Cougar QBX
Motherboard: Asus H110I PLUS DDR4 LGA 1151 Mini-ITX
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 Skylake Quad-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1151 65W
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 128GB SSD
PSU: 500W Fully Modular 80 Plus Gold
Network: HP 436431-001 NC364T Gigabit Quad Port...
