I'm going to sound like a absolute noob. BUT!

 

My router is quite far from my pc, I have been on wifi and its getting quiet shit now. I want to connect a ethernet cable from my router to my pc.

 

What do I need? Just a simple ethernet cable? 

 

Sorry to bother. thank you so much.

Yes, just connect the cable, you could also get wi fi range extender for 30£

Ethernet cable has a limitation on length without an active signal repeater (arround 100m).

 

You just need to grab a long cable, connect it to the router and to your computer.
If you are going to buy one, make sure it is at least CAT5e (1 gigabit speeds capable).

 

Other options:

- As DemiGod said, WiFi Range extender

- PLC --> uses your electricity cables as ethernet cables.

TP-Link kit extensor Powerline PLC C/Pass Through - Vodafone Tienda de Accesorios

Yes, to simplify the multiple options you can buy, get a Cat5e or Cat6 cable. Those are fairly modern standards that will have no problem with high bandwidth.

 

It helps to run the cable along the edge of a wall to keep it subtle. Plan your cable length based on that 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Flat cables are just fine. And Cat6 is Cat6 regardless of the shape, as long as it's up to spec.

looks alright, not sure about price because it does say not available when I pull up the listing.

I'm not gonna click the link because it doesn't change what I said earlier. Is it Cat5e? Cat6? Flat or not, doesn't matter.

Any Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable will work the same for gaming and streaming.

That should go without saying!

 

Of course, "CAT 11 UBER GAMING RGB PATCH JUMPER CABLE" that's just satin cord won't help.
