Yes, Cat5e can do gigabit, but I think the distance you can run it on
is quite a bit less than Cat6. That said, we used to have several
switches and servers on 6' Cat5e patch cables, that ran at GB speed
just fine.

Cat6 was about 2x the price of Cat5e the last time I looked, but it
shouldn't be too expensive to wire a house, unless you are on a really
tight budget.
