I need to set up 10 comps via lan for playing games, can someone pls help me on how to do that...

P8H61-M LX asus.

It has an inbuilt lan support,

LAN Realtek® 8111E , 1 x Gigabit LAN Controller(s)

Would that be enough or should i get a seperate Network card?

And how do i set it up.

Yes, that will do. Just get an Ethernet Switch and connect all PCs to it.

get a frontech/foxin 10/100 Mbps switch Rs.800 ~ 850

normal quality cables will do but get good quality RJ45 clips. Cheap quality ones have a tendency to break

any local pc shops will have them & if you tell your requirement they will make the wire&clips crimped for a nominal charges (i would suggest buy a crimping tool Rs.250 yourself & buy cables & clips & crimp yourself. I am suggesting this cause if requirement increases u can do yourself no need to go to shop)
