Aye, I have the cable and its fully wired, I just need to connect the wires to an RJ45 connector (which I have ) and I dont fully know how to do it

Hello too Brooky,Happy new Year

Terminate them on a patch panel, crimping your own cables is a pain if you don't know how to do it! Maplin sell both patch panels and crimping tools/RJ45 connectors btw.

You need the proper order of the wires?
It's very easy if you have someone to show you, but if you are on your own I suggest you try it a few times with a simple cable and a few connectors before trying it on your wall sockets....

Google has some nice pictures on the proper order RJ45 wiring - Google Image Search

Are u asking how to crimp the cables or how to connect the devices?
If u cabled your house i really do hope you approached it with a Structured Cabling, ie all the cables ends up in a room where u can plug em to a Switch (for example).
Take a look in here for some clarifications.
