Alternatives to one-armed-router setups for performance (help)

Hello. Im looking to buy and setup a better network at home for performance and security reasons.

Current setup is just a Router 6300v2.

From reading one-armed-router setup dont seem to be the best possible setup for that as the traffic between switch and router will be congested quickly.

Say i want to send a big file (1Gbps) from A to B that is connected to the switch, and at the same time C want to download a file from internet (1Gbps). This would make the Router handle the routing and not the switch right? Seeing as its the Router that handles VLAN.

My question here would be: What is the best setup for this problem? I want to keep WAN line clear from LAN traffic, and still have the Router features working (NAT etc).

My thought was L3 switch handling VLAN but that would remove NAT from Router?

So in conclusion: Is Router-on-a-stick the best setup possible to keep Router features and at the same time have VLAN?

Any help is welcome. Even suggestions on setup. What i want is low latency to WAN (gaming), even when LAN traffic is happening (i.e NAS traffic, file sends).

Gear i want to buy: ER-4, nanoHDs, L3(necessary?) switch with poe, later on poe-cameras.

If you dont mind, what is your setup and why?
