IIRC, Cat 5e four pair will support 10 Gbps. However, regular Cat 5 won't. I put Cat 5e in my house about six years ago. If I was installing now I would go with Cat 6 or Cat 7. There's no sense saving a few bucks by installing any variant of Cat 5 anymore. I pointed this out to Juan in an earlier thread.
Also, if the builder can set it up so that you can easily thread new cable through conduits, that will make "future proofing" less of an issue.
