I am using this motherboard http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K2MAU5Q?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages01. Could someone suggest a cord from Bestbuy that is 25 feet long. Yes I know that all of it is real specific but I would really appreciate it.

Cheapest Cat 6 cable you can find in your desired length at Best Buy.

One's CAT 6 and one's CAT 5e. CAT 5e is perfectly fine for a home user.

Unless you are going for 10Gbe in the near future, or plan to bundle the cable with many others, any ethernet cable is just as good as any other (cat 5 and up that is). Just grab one in a colour that you like in the length you need and job done.
