Torrents seldom break a few hundred Kbit each even with a ton of peers. Online gaming is more about ping time than bandwidth. Typically <200Kbit.

The easy trick to tell is to start another "HD" stream to another host on another PC and see if anything slows down. Usually not will be the answer.

And unless you hard wire all this stuff, your wireless may be more of a bottleneck due to contention. 54Mbit g or even 300Mbit N are subject to significant degradation with multiple heavily active clients especially if "Mixed" mode.
