also my house was built in the late '60s if that impacts powerline performance please tell me
i would like to mostly game and thats it thanks in advance.

For $30 there is not a good answer... Good performing powerline is $50 to $100. Wireless can be within the budget but for gaming it is not optimal.

 

[captain_cyzer]

so as for the $50 dollar price range what would you recommend?

 

[kanewolf]

Does your house have three prong outlets? Do you live in US ?

 

[captain_cyzer]

i live in Britain so a 3 pin would be ideal.

 

[kanewolf]

I am in the US, I can't make a good recommendation for UK parts since I don't really know what is available.

The newest standard for powerline is AV2. That is the keyword you want to look for in the description. After that AV500 would be the next level down.

ok, ill look into av500. thanks for your time, its helped alot.
