Nighthawk S8000 worth it

[sdeligar]

I'm looking into getting a switch so I can have all the devices in my living room hard wired for gaming and streamer. I have no interest in wireless anything so I'm only interested in switches. What I've read about the Nighthawk S8000 sounds great but I'm wondering if anybody here has owned one and if so was it worth the money. If not any suggestions on an alternative?

 

Edit: Also if anybody can recommend a reliable brand of cat 7 cables I'd appreciate it.

Why do you need cat7-cables, when the switch is only gigabit? Cat5e is more than enough for such speeds.

I can afford cat 7 cables. I can't afford a 5 or 10 gig switch so why not future proof so I don't have to replace all my cables when I have the hardware that can run over 1 gig

 

Also if the brand makes good cat 7 they probably make good cat 5e so at it's core the type of cable doesn't really matter just if the brand has proven reliable to people with more experience at this than I have.
