Christchurch is probably a bit far away.

Old PC's are not great as a router (unless if this is going to just be something you play with) and the reason being is power use.

 

If you're set on PFSense / OPNSense then you're better to get something a bit newer (like an ex-lease PC) else one of those x86 Routers readily available on AliExpress.
