What type of wireless adapter should I get?

I'm building a custom PC this summer and I want to install a wireless network adapter into it. My wifi router is located in my basement. If my room is approximately 17 feet from the top of the router on the top floor, what type of wireless network adapter should I get? 150 mbps, 300 mbps, or 400/450 mbps? Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :)
 
Get one that is at least as fast as your router. If you have a "g" router, it won't make much difference, but if you have an "n" or "ac", then get an adapter that at least matches the speed and signal type of your router.
