I want to use Ethernet or at least give it a yet because my Wi-Fi is being stupid, so I want to try Ethernet, which cable should I get? It has to be at least 50ft long.

I would go with a standard Cat 6 cable. It can handle speeds much higher than your home network will be capable of, and it's pretty cheap.

Thank you, I heard that some people use cat5e over cat6 so I wasn't so sure what to get. Thanks for your help enjoy the +REP.

Cat 6 has higher bandwidth and is generally an industry standard.

As long as you don't mind the 50ft cable that's all you need.

In my opinion, cable is cable. They all use copper wire in the middle and use the same sheath just different colours, the brand doesn't really matter.
