So i'm moving like in 4 months and i game on the PC alot. I always had a cable for internet from my Router. But in the new house i cant get cable anymore because i'm not close to a router anymore because its like behind the TV. Is there any other solutions? I cant do wifi because my motherboard doesnt have wifi.

Remember i want good internet because i play games like CS:GO and other shooters.
Maybe this is useful: my download speed right now is 130 mbps.
 
Solution
If your PC is like, close to the router but blocked by a wall, a powerline adapter should be good for you.

Otherwise you can just get a USB wifi adapter to give your computer wifi connectivity.
You obviously can add a wireless card to your PC. If you are very lucky it might be acceptable it mostly depends on how many neighbors have wireless routers interfering with you.

The only other realistic options are powerline network device that use the electrical power and MoCA that would require you have tv coax in both your room and near the router. Powerline networks work in most houses but not all. MoCA is expensive and can conflict with some forms of whole house DVR or satellite systems.

You will get nowhere near 130m on any of these options but games need very little bandwidth what they do need is a very stable connection which wireless tends to be very bad at since it is subject to random interference.
