Hello everyone,

Just recently, I've ordered the remainder of my computer parts for my build, but couldn't decide upon the wireless network card. My current router is the "WNDR3400v2", and I'm not at all sure whether or not the two need to be directly compatible with each-other, but I need your help with what card to buy. As you've read in the title, my budget is $50 or lower, and I would also very highly prefer PCIe rather than USB. Any help and (or) suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance!

Hello there, I did a bit of research on the card you sent me, and correct me if I'm wrong, but after reading many reviews on different websites, it seems the compatibility with windows 8.1 (which is what I'll be using) is badly optimized, but it is good for those who use their computers for normal, everyday tasks. I did forget to mention that I will be doing quite a bit of intense online gaming with my rig, and really want the best "bang for my buck", in a sense. But thank you for the suggestion anyway. If there is any other card out there that fits my description, please feel free to message me
