I want to upgrade to a 2.5GbE NIC for my PC and NAS but my network switch is only 1GbE.

Question: will the PC and NAS be able to utilize the 2.5Gb connection or it will be bottleneck by the network switch?

    Every step of the travel needs to be 2.5GbE or higher if you want to get the full speeds out of it. That includes the switch and anything else that is between the 2 devices

    Id recommend a TEG-S380 assuming 8 ports is sufficient.

    directly connect the nas to pc on the 2.5gbe. use the 1gb connection for anything else.

    best solution would be to get a multi speed switch with 2.5gbe
