Switch Advice for Gaming and Home Office

I need advice on a switch model for a home office that also has my gaming PC. My house is wired for Gigabit ethernet. I don't need anything higher right now. The devices I would be connecting to start would be:

 

  • Gaming PC
  • Work PC
  • Network Printer

I looked at the Nighthawk series for the gaming aspects, but they seem to be sold out. Have they been discontinued? Are the "regular" switches suitable for gaming?

 

Thanks in advance.

  • A dumb switch is a dumb switch is a dumb switch. They're virtually all the same and are suited for many tasks, including gaming.
