Whilst not quite as complex as yours (no powerhubs), we have, from the superhub-

Cat 5 cable to a Buffalo Airstation upstairs, which supports my (wired) main PC, an Apple TV on wifi, two PC's on wifi
Cat 5 cable to BluRay player
Wifi to 3/4 (depending if my son/daughter are at home) x laptops downstairs
Wifi to Wii downstairs

and 3 smartphones and an iPod Touch which roam between the Super Hub and the AirStation.
Ah I left out the Wii and other devices, didn't really have the time or inclination to include everything that is WiFi connected, and missed out the BD player too.

The powerline modems are nothing interesting, just dumb devices to compensate for the Faraday cage like walls in this old place absolutely murdering wireless signals without running cable upstairs - no need for more than the 100-200Mbit/s the PLC hardware can do.

The second AP downstairs is to ensure complete 2.4GHz coverage, with the Pooper Hub doing 5GHz duty for those devices that are capable.
