Hi, I'm trying to extend my hdmi cable because it's too short, and i cant move my pc there.

I'm wondering if any adapter will ouput the same quality as the cable alone. I need it to play games and watch movies, nothing 3D, max resolution 1366x768 60hz.

the cable must be like 4-5 meters long which are like 13-16 feets, and using the adapter 2-3m. These adapters i found in a store are unbranded, and I also need a 90º adapter.

Although the HDMI specification doesn't specify a max cable length, signal loss can still occur over long distances but will be minimal if you use a good quality cable. You can join two cables together with one of those connectors if that is your aim. But I would assure that both cables are of the same version for best results. The HDMI version number should be typed on the side of the cable. Version 1.3, 1.4, and 2.0 are the most common. Here is a wikipedia page to brush up on the HDMI requirements: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Cables

Here are some 5 meter cables if you want to avoid the splice:
