RT-56U seems like overkill for me.
Maybe the E4200 V2 is ok.
I'm still leaning toward the RT-N53 only cause I can pricematch it for $38.
Unless it's complete crap...
This is basically what I do:
My general internet traffic is 1 PC downloading a few GB of stuff every now and then.
I have another 2 PC's that need the router, but they're usually not on (or used often).
I have 1 laptop that my bro uses (for youtube and email).
Things I stream online are pretty much YouTube on a 20" monitor fullscreen (is that even 1080p??).
Will I take advantage of a Gigabit router (or 5G)?
My mobo's a ASUS P8Z77 V-LK. (not sure if my motherboard has anything to do with it)
I'm not sure what NAS, QOS (or any of the other terminology that I've been reading) is,
and probably won't be doing anything with that... lol

If that's all that you do, RT-N53 is fine. DD-WRT is custom firmware for messing around with settings, not needed unless you want to get into that. QOS = Quality of Service, basically prioritizing Internet bandwith.
You will not take advantage of Gigabit or 5Ghz, so no need for a super advanced router. Get the N53 and be happy.
