It doesn't matter as long as each end of the cable is the same.

Does it matter that I am going to modem - punch block - then the patch cable? Do I need a crossover cable for this?

No.. you don't need a cross over.. you can now get
self crimping keystones which saves a lot of hassle.

I wired them both the same just with direct plugs, and currently I am getting a signal but a very weak one, barely detecting the >10mbs connection at the PC which seems kind of strange because in my experience typically this stuff either works as it should or doesn't at all?

It depends what you are doing. Anything lower than Gigabit don't use all the wires, so you might have a loose wire somewhere. Get a cheap ethernet wire tester (
can be had for about $5) to diagnose.
