Running USB3.1 through home (just for fun)
Planning on doing this once school is over, just wanted to get some feedback first.
For the longest time, I've been considering replacing all the machines in my house with one central machine.
(Just because I thought it would fun )
The only thing stopping me were displays. Didn't want to run DVI, USB, and HDMI.
USB3.1 can transmit upto 10 Gbps
According to Google
1440@60Hz requires 4.93Gbps
1080@60Hz requires 2.25 Gbps
I can't imagine mice, keyboard and other peripherals to take up too much bandwidth so I'm going to assume its negligible.
I'd need one line to support one 1440p + 2x1080p screens + a handful of USB peripherals (controllers, mice, keyboard)
If I were to buy an ASUS USB 3.1 card, I would able to accomplish my goal right?

I also have a question about hubs
Would hubs like this http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B010DHGPLM/ deliver full bandwidth? or will they slow down the entire system?
The plan is to run cables to each level of the house, and use hubs so I can connect peripherals. Will use unRAID to divide up my central machine to VM. I figure this way I can solve me issue having a slow NAS.
Central Machine Spec: (Already own)
i7 3820 --> planning to switch to a 6 core CPU if necessary
44GB RAM
3xR9 290 --> Might need to remove one GPU if I run out of PCie lanes. (40 Gen3.0? lanes)
3x240GB SSD
6TB HHD storage -->Might switch to RAID1 since there's no way I'll use this much storage
Corsair AX1200 PSU (fresh from eventual RMA)
Smart APC 1050W UPS --> might need to remove/cripple a GPU for this to work
Planning on creating 2 gaming rigs + HTPC+NAS.
Planning on using USB3.1 to HDMI for the 1080p screens, and a USB3.1 to DVI-D for the 1440p
