my z77 sabertooth does'nt have wireless so If I bought a power line adapter kit would that work as ethernet or would it work as wireless acting as ethernet

Powerline adapters basically use the wires in your house to make a network. It's not ethernet and it's not wireless. Basically you're not gonna get the full bandwidth as from the router via ethernet but it's definitely a very big upgrade from wireless.

so my question is will it work because I dont have a wireless card

Roughly speaking powerline converts your power sockets into ethernet sockets.

You plug one end into a power socket near your router and plug a ethernet cable into one of the free LAN ports on the router then plug the other end (adapter) near your pc and just plug an ethernet cable into the board. Powerline is not wireless.

So the answer to your question: yes it will work, better than wi-fi, but worse than if you would just plug into the router.
