I'm building a new PC. First time at this, so forgive any stupid questions.
When I decided on getting Windows 8.1 rather than 7, I discovered that the wireless adapter I'd planned on getting wasn't compatible.
I've done some searching and there's plenty of forums and questions about people's wireless playing up after upgrading to 8.1, and most of the answers talk about downloading new drivers.
While I could buy one of the adapters mentioned there and follow the driver update suggestions, I'd rather just get one that will be compatible to begin with if I can help it. Saves time and effort, and I don't have to guess/hope that the one I choose will have a suitable update for it.
Also, I'd like to stick with a PCI-E one rather than USB, and keep the price reasonable (<$50).
Thanks.
