Unless it is a _very_ old PC, I would say you have a good router already.
Unless you plan to buy an expensive router, such as one of the Cisoco
or similar class, then a PC would do at least as well.  Home router junk
boxes are no match for any reasonable PC, unless you just want something
with a simple web interface, but no real ability to add new features.
