Hi, right now I am waiting for my PC to be built and I should have it by Wednesday. (Saturday today.) One problem I am having is having to decide if I should use a Wireless USB or a Ethernet Cable.

Now this may bit seem like a stupid question, but I am really stuck here. I'll be honest, I'm not great with PCs (Hence why I'm having mine built.) and I do not know how to use an Ethernet cable. However, I know how to use a wireless USB.

Where my computer will be located, there will literally be a wall in between me and the wireless hub. (My room is next door to the room where we keep the Wireless hub.)

I have a friend who uses a wireless USB, and he doesn't seem to have any problems. Since I am just a room away, will it be fine just to use this? I play a lot of games online (CS:GO, CIV V, GMOD and several others.) And I also spend a lot of time watching videos on YouTube and watching Netflix. I want a good ping in games and I don't want no video buffering:p

In summary, what's the best options for me here? Thank you in advance:)

Ethernet is pretty easy... plug one end into router, the other end into your computer. Done. No configuration needed, and it's much better for gaming. The only thing you need to figure out is how long should the cable be, and buy one a bit longer.

"I don't know how to use an ethernet cable" isn't a very good excuse. You obviously know a bit from your post, I'm pretty sure you can figure it out.
