suggestions for router/fw?

I have had dialup until now but I'll soon be getting DSL. I'm not familiar with routers or hardware firewals and I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions. I have 2 computers at home and I'd like to connect both to a router. Both computers have PFW. I'm also considering a hardware firewall. I don't want the 2 computers to share files, just to be able to access the internet. Neither computer runs any servers, no open ports, etc. I can spend up to $200-$300 (not including the modem). Any suggestions on how I can get the best protection for this setup with that budget?

Also, if anyone could suggest a web site with info for people who are just beginning to learn about routers, etc., I would appreciate it.
