Thank you for all response.
Old PC can be good, but it's not power efficient ;) Looks like Mikrotik: https://mikrotik.com/products/group/ethernet-routers have quite cheap hardware, but question is - For 1 Gb/s broadband with tor relay (set for up to 250 Mb/s - maybe more in future) - any of this small router will be enough?
Example: hEX PoE lite It's powerful enough or I will need something much more enterprise grade?
On my current setup with my home grade 1 Gb/s router my relay works quite stable, but with working TOR I can reach speed up to 450 Mb/s (150 Mb/s for relay and up to 300 Mb/s for other services or tests). When I stop relay - I can reach easily 950 Mb/s
If I understand it correctly - my router CPU can't handle more packages / connections, currently nyx reporting: Connections (3053 inbound, 4151 outbound, 1 control) which is a lot ;)
I really want to avoid using big rack type mount, noisy router with separate PSU.

I'm looking for new router for good price which can handle more connections and traffic ;-) Can you recommend any specific models? Should I avoid some products lines or companies?
If you have an old PC with 2 ethernet ports laying around or you can get one cheap I suggest you build your own: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/04/the-ars-guide-to-building-a-linux-ro...
