Should be fine.  I regulalrly saturate my link with much less impressive
hardware than that, and the router/gateway/firewall doesn't break a
sweat.  gigabit can be tough to saturate when disk I/O is involved, but
for pure network traffic and packet filtering, I can't imagine you'll
have any problems.
