Can I get a quick opinion on my layout?

I have attached a drawing of how I intend to cable my system, I would just like a thumbs up or down. My main goal is to allow the gigabit connected pieces to work at full speed, while the older stuff is still on the network. I do not have a NAS yet, but put it in for future planning. All my cables are Cat6 (again, for future updatability). I originally was going to use 2x5 port switches, and dedicate one to the gigabit, but I was told (hopefully reliably) that this should be an acceptable scenario. Thank you in advance for looking it over!

Your setup is fine. There's no need to separate 10/100 and Gigabit machines on to separate switches, however.

ok, that is even better than, I can move all of the computers to the 8 port switch. In my reading, it sounded like sometimes 100 and 1000 didnt get along and would force 1000 so I figured it would be a little "extra safe". Thanks for the help!
