Peesyy · Oct 23, 2014

Hi I am buying my new gaming PC in a few days and wondering about wireless connection to our router. This is my computer I'm getting

I have no idea if this has an adapter already built in or what but any help on what I would need is much appreciated

you can get something better than that if you buy a custom computer and build it yourself or have someone build it. I don't think that includes a wireless adapter

Doesnt say anything about having wireless. So you'll have to buy a USB adapter or a PCI wireless card

You can buy a USB or an internal wireless adapter if you need to connect wireless.

I know you don't have experience building a computer, so i'm not going to convince you to try and put together a better system for the same cash. However, I would recommend finding a way to use a wired cable for gaming. I don't think you'll be happy with wireless performance and gaming.

As stated a wired connection is the best you can do for gaming.

Next best is a powerline networking adapter (500-600mbps model)
If you have to have to use wifi over powerline or ethernet then at least get a PCI-E one and not a USB one. USB is automatically limited in antenna size and limited to the 5v output of the USB port.

Also, the 430w corsair cx serries psu is not enough for that r9-270. Amd recommends a 500w psu. While that value is a little overstated, that R7 is going to have that 430 psu working at max or near max all the time. This is going to suck the life out of the capacitors in that 430 which already has weaker capacitors then many other psus in its class.
