Hello,
So I just realized that I'm not sure if I'll be able to use wireless internet or get sound out of my motherboard. Could someone please tell me if I need a sound card and/or a wireless adapter? If I need either one, which one should I choose?
Here is my build:

Here are the upgrades that I plan on getting later:

I posted my upgrades in case they would effect what slots I would have remaining.
Any help would be great!
P.S. I know that wireless is slower, I just would like to have it to be safe.
