When we had U-Verse I put a Gigabit switch below the gateway, and ran the critical devices on the switch.
I have the one, below, but there are plenty of other good ones out there.

There aren't any cables in the wall yet because the ethernet cable I am currently using is not long enough. I was going to order some Cat6 cable from monoprice to run behind the walls and this switch from Amazon. I already have the wall plates: the one for the office says "Cat5e/6," while the one for the bedroom is a coaxial/ethernet combo and says "compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e cable," and they both terminate in the wall.
My ISP is Verizon FiOS with a speed around 40 Mbps and my priority is to not have my PS3 (and PS4) slowed down at all for online gaming.
Two options: assuming your linksys is the full router and you want to spend a minimal amount, you can add a separate 1gig switch such as D-Link 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch (DGS-1005G) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B003X7TRWE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Cn7XBb8NGA9BQ
Plug both your gaming pc and unRAID server into the new switch, and then run another Ethernet connection from the switch into your existing router. That will give you a full 1 gig connection between your tell systems, but you will still be limited to 100mb talking to anything not plugged directly into the new switch.
Other option would be to replace the whole thing with a new router that runs at 1 gig, but it's hard to recommend anything without knowing the rest of your networking setup (ie internet connection type, existing modem and router, etc...)

Cheap switch like this will do the job. There are much better switches out there but seeing as you a college student im sure you will appreciate a cheap one :)
