I'm using the TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 in my desktop. It supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz networks, and up to 450 Mbps on each frequency

It costs a bit more than the one you are looking at, but is a whole lot more capable.

Thanks it helped a lot for my first build! And do you think this system can run ArmA II/dayz on high settings?

The i3 is holding you back.
