If you're doing the full future proofing thing, I might consider fibre for
higher bandwidths. Terminating it is easier than 10GBASE-T (unless your
equipment only has an RJ45 and nothing else).

cat5e can be used for MultiGig (2.5 or 5.0 Gbit), but so far I've only
seen APs using that rather than PCs, but it seems gaming laptops are
starting to support it.

Gamer desktops are also starting to support it - eg chips from Aquantia.
However the current lack (as with 10G) is affordable switches.
(in the case of 10G, ex-datacentre kit is a good option at this point).

Looks easy enough to me:
