so my new mobo doesnt have a wireless card with it and im stuck using like a 5 year old netgear usb wireless adapter that just randomly loses connection all the time, so whats a good wireless adapter? im thinking about getting the asus daul band wireless ac 1900 psie adapter, here:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320173&cm_re=asus_ac1900-_-33-320-173-_-Product.

As for a webcam i have no clue, all i know is i want it to record in at least 720p and it doesnt need to have a mic, id like 1080p if possible, hell even a cam corder or something, id be willing to spend around 100Usd on it. So any siggestion is greatly appreciated, but if its a camcorder i use it to record my self, for youtube videos so id lie it to have an arm things that shows what its recording that can turn around so i could see what its recording while its pointing at me, if you can tell i dont know anything about camcorders haha.

Thank you all in advanced!

If you have or plan to get an Wireless AC router, then I recommend the ASUS PCE-AC68. I have this wireless adapter as well, and do have to agree that it is amazing. Great wireless performance while connected to the ASUS AC68 Router. 1.3 Gbps speed while only having 2 bars on signal strength. (this computer is located all the way across the house, and upstairs from the router, which is located in the downstairs kitchen. Around a good 50+ feet away.) I do have beamforming technology enabled to be able to achieve the signal and speed. Without beamforming i get the same 2 bars signal, but with a much lower 400 Mbps

I have had this card since my build from February, and have since upgraded my motherboard. I now have the ASUS Maximus VII...

Hello ahobodude!

I just got done building my ultimate computer rig and also ran into the same problems as you.
A couple days before I made the purchase, I realized that my motherboard did not have a wireless adapter integrated.

Here is what I ended up getting for both that you stated above.

Wireless Card: ASUS PCE-AC68 Dual-band Wireless-AC1900 Adapter (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320173&cm_re=asus_ac1900-_-33-320-173-_-Product)

Webcam: Logitech C920 1080p HD Webcam (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104635&cm_re=C920-_-26-104-635-_-Product)

These work perfectly for me and I have even seen an increase in my wireless performance.
If you have any questions about these products or others, feel free to contact me.

Have fun!

I have had this card since my build from February, and have since upgraded my motherboard. I now have the ASUS Maximus VII Formula, this has a built in wireless solution with the add-in wireless/bluetooth 4.0 card. I still use the AC68 as it provides a stronger wireless signal, and have the on-board wireless disabled.

As for webcam, the Logitech C920 is the same webcam i have, and use for daily skype calls, and video chatting. I highly recommend it as well.
