Its really really pointless spending the extra cash on cat6 for domestic use. Cat5e (hell, even cat5 will probably work fine) will work without problem.

Don't bother buying fancy cables with "super mega diamond impregnated oxygenated gold terminals", aka "Monster" cables. They are entirely pointless for digital applications. Cheap "Pound Store" cables will work fine.
