Thanks everyone! Its good to know I have options.
Everytime I search the question of a second router it always based on the second router being completely wireless.
Looks like I am just going to run my network cable and figure the rest out later. The main modem and router will be set in the basement kind of in a "main hub" location right in the center. I will then run 3 cables from there. One will go to the Living room were my main TV components will be set up and the second will go the study were my desktop computer will be. The third will go to the second floor in a central closet which will house the second router.
I am not very technical when it comes to stuff so I would like to keep it simple if I can. Right now the only things on our wireless network are 2 iPhones, an iPad, iPod and occasionally my wifes work laptop.
