Will this be used for home or at work?
You might look in to the Ubiquiti line, such as the UDM Pro or UDM Pro SE:

Cisco is usually used in corporations, so there may be licensing to pay to get some features.
Better to stay with prosumer if your needs aren't on a corporate level!
Not sure why this is being downvoted but it’s a great recommendation and I know several folks who run Ubiquiti for both commercial and non commercial applications. While it’s not 100% enterprise grade, it will certainly perform and allow you to grow your network to a level which will softly transition to enterprise grade equipment (and costs) over time. Cisco is pricey and complex to manage based on my experience. But, if routing at the edge is required (bgp, etc.) then you may need to go a more enterprise route.
@op-
What features do you need? What are your sla and uptime requirements? Is this enterprise, small office, or home use? What commitments if any do you have to your end customers?
All of these things will be required to better recommend a solution that will accomplish what you’re looking for. Be advised that routing that much traffic will be pricey especially if going with an enterprise grade solution.
I use Ubiquiti at home!
