I have a dell R710 server running windows 2012 with 64Gb ram with wsus installed and running on wid, it also has avg admin console with a small firebird database. Would it be to much to add the domain controller role? I need a backup DC and wish to install the role on this box.

too much for the server?

Should handle your scenario just fine, have multiple DC servers with similar setups. Unless you have a very large number of users, AD, properly setup does not tax a server very much. Most important part is to keep the server clean of unnecessary software, avoid Internet cruising, and have a decent AV running.
