So i want to use an ethernet cable for my pc but i can not run a cable throughout my whole house as the router is in the living room and wifi is an awful option so would an ethernet cable connected to a power line adapter be a good idea for someone who doesn’t need competitive internet? And is there a good cheap option around $30-$35?

Power line adapters are hit or miss. If the adapters are on the same circuit they work the best. If you have to cross a breaker or two you will likely get slower speeds. If you need to cross a phase it likely won’t work very well. High draw appliances can cause interference. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
