Need help buying a CAT cable

Any regular cat5e cable will suffice. Don’t get the cheapest, because there could be some fakes, but getting the most expensive once isn’t necessary either. Cat5e cables support gigabit ethernet, which is about 20 times as much as your download speed.
In addition to what said, It might be worth pointing out that you should keep the cable length to less than 100m if you’re planning on running the cable very far
I have never bought an assembled cat cable in my life. I always make my own….only way to be sure of the quality. You will also have much more flexibility with the installation. Buy the cable reel and plugs, boots etc from a quality supplier. Buy more than you need, it will benefit you into the future. You will also need some tools, plenty of easy how-to tutorials on the web.
