Ok, so I was planning on buying a PC build and had a question about networking. So I have a router (Arris if that matters) on my desk. I have wifi but wanted to get wired network because I heard it is better for online gaming. So how do I set one up? DO I need to buy anything? Thanks!!

all you need to buy is a good long cat 5e or 6 cable to go from the modem/router. on the back of the router will be ports numbered 1-4 just plug the cable into port 1. and plug the other end into the motherboard ethernet port. install windows and all the drivers any your all set.
