As far as I'm aware this motherboard doesn't come with a wireless card. Me being the newbie I am didn't realize that not all mobo's come with them and didn't buy one when I was getting other components for my PC build. Not a problem though, as I had already planned to head to best buy to pickup a keyboard and OS after I'm done building. So what's a good wireless card for this?

Hi there. Glad that you're finished with the main parts :) 

What card to pick will depends on your budget, and how far is it from your PC to other wireless devices. Pretty much any wireless card that use either PCI/PCI-E or USB slot will fit into your motherboard.

It'll be about one short hallway away from my router hooked which, on the same floor. I don't really know what is considered "a lot" for one of these so right now just consider my budget to be flexible I guess, thanks for the response.

That's not a lot, actually. I think the Rosewill RNX-N250PCe can fit your need at a budget price : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... It received really good feedback, too.

Thanks, this will just fit through the case right? Sorry for the dumb question, just making sure.

Yes, just put it into any PCI-E slot. No matter short or long slot, the card will work just fine.

If you have a double slot graphics card your pci-e x1 is covered or will be a tight fit id go with a PCI card, my fav is this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Edit: durp forgot about the slot above the graphics card so pci-e would be fine, I personally prefer to not use the slots above or below graphic cards

You can put that card into a PCI-E X16 slot, too. His motherboard has 6 PCI-E slots to choose from. And even with a dual VGA card setup in the future, putting that Rosewill card into the top PCI-E x1 slot won't block any airflow.

Man brain is too tired, initially overlooked the topmost pci-e x1 slot and totally forgot that can use the pci-e x16 slots
