I am in the process of building a PC and wired isnt quite an option so I was wondering what would be better as an adapter, a usb or a card for the motherboard. My motherboard is a... Asus P8H77-V LE.

I was considering something cheap and this is why the usb came to mind when I saw that TP-LINK TL-WN725N Wireless N Nano USB Adapter is only $8. But what would give me a faster speed a card or this little usb adapter?

Link me cheap and effective cards or usb's if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Those little Nano ones are generally very limited in range. There's only so much antenna they can pack into that little space.

PCI-E card:
Potential multi antenna
Probably more power

USB:
Can be moved around
Can be easily removed
