Looking for a switch

So I currently run everything that's wired in my room through a router than then goes through the floor into a Virgin Superhub.

 

I'm looking for a Gigabit switch to use instead of the router.

 

I'm currently looking at this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Netgear-GS308-100UKS-Gigabit-Ethernet-Switch/dp/B00AWM7PKO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1388314900&sr=8-8&keywords=network+switch

 

Can anyone recommend this one? Or recommend another one for around that price?

How can it be a virgin when all the cables are in the ports? ( cable:pen*s and ports:pus**y)

Personally, I'd get this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-SG108-8-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B00A121WN6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1388315555&sr=8-2&keywords=tp+link+8+port+gigabit+switch

But that is just personal preference.
