Answer Dean,
For your setup I highly recommend a D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N Gigabit Router. It was one of the first gigabit draft-2.0 routers available and in my opinion it's still one of the best, especially for online gaming with a PS3. It's very easy to setup and will provide a significant performance boost over your Belkin router, especially in the throughput department. You can pick one up at any electronics retailer for about $100.
