Hi so I am going to be building my PC very soon. I just need to know what do I need to connect wirelessly to my network? Like isn't there like a network card or something? If you need my build specs let me know but if someone could give me a link to whatever I need or whatever that'd be great. Thanks

A wireless adapter is what you need. You can find them for $10-25

So there are various ways for your desktop to be connected to the WiFi internet. Some motherboards have it built in. If not, you can add the WiFi via a PCI board, or via a USB adapter. The USB route is generally the least expensive, and quite simple to install, an example of which is linked to below.

Okay! Thank you both very much. So I just need to plug that USB in or something close to that?

They sell USB ones as well as PCI wireless adapters. I have a USB one that works great. They come with an installation disk.

Yes, the USB works fine. This is what I use on my desktop.
