Noob question: do i need to buy a wireless USB adaptor for my first build or does the MOBO already has one?

If so is this one good? http://www.asus.com/Networking/USBN53/

Notes: I dont have ethernet and my MOBO is a MSI b85-g43.

 
Most mobos do not come with wireless adapters. The problem with USB adapters is they often have horrible antennas. If possible, a PCIe x1 or PCI adapter would be better. Whether or not dual band will help you depends on the router you'll be using.
