I think you could do well with P4 3GHz HT. It would be cheapest and
most effective choice. With HT enabled kernel two nic-s could be
configured that each nic's interrupt is serviced by another
processor. 

I recommend reading this article:

P4 will suffice as long as you will keep your config optimised (hashing
tc filters, using ipset instead of long sequences of iptables
rules ...).
