You're going to be spending a lot of money.
The biggest benefit from Ubiquiti is when all your switches, access points, and the router... are all managed by a Cloud Key. Then you get a great network, but can also see it, customise it, debug it.
Start with evaluating what you think you'd need and how you want to get there.
i.e.
- Router to replace the Nighthawk
- AP to handle the Wifi for the Nighthawk
- Switch if you have local LAN needs... the AP is PoE and so your switch should accommodate this
- Somewhere to run the network management software, or just buy a Cloud Key
That's bare minimum... but it only starts to shine when you add more switches and routers. If the above is all you need, then don't bother with distinct components at all - instead look at the Unifi DreamMachine. It limits a couple of things compared to distinct components, but not enough that you'd notice.

Where do I start with Ubiquiti to replace my ageing Nighthawk R7000? I like to tinker and not afraid of Linux.
