Centering Nav CSS

HTML & CSS
1

Looking for some insight on how to get this navigation centered in the header. As I’ve been told it’s not the best to place it within a div.

I’m banging my head on a wall trying to do this, I swear every time I do a layout the navbar gives me the most trouble. (Ignore ghetto rigged logo)

Thanks in advanced,
Chris
