After must consideration, I am going to start small with MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN which I could get it at about $125. Current I kinda struggle with the SFP+ transceiver. I notice there are RJ45, Multimode/Single Mode fiber, DAC. In general, the RJ45 seems to be most expensive out of the 3. Another consideration is the NIC, I am more towards getting SFP+ NIC since I am already going to get some SFP transceiver.

Thanks guy for the quick response. @Windows7ge I am just using a normal Synology 2 bays NAS running a single 1Gbps. After some read up about LACP, it seems that I can have 2 transfers at 1Gbit each but not 1 transfer at 2Gbits (Not a must but why not ?). Giving that I am using and only have a unmanaged switch. This boil down to cost and effort of buying a managed switch with LACP and do some configuration or buying a 10Gbits NIC and switch. ?

I have a switch connecting my desktop and NAS. My internet speed is 1Gbps. Yes 1Gbps, I can download stuff from Google Drive at about 70-90MB/s. ? Here is the things, I am bottleneck by the single Ethernet port on my motherboard while downloading torrent and copying file to and from the NAS. I am wondering if I have a NIC card with 2 1Gbps port, will the NIC card or something be smart enough to use 1 port for download torrent and the other to copy file from the NAS or there might be a chance both the traffic will be squeeze into 1 port.
