Just like the title says, i'm looking for a motherboard that has wi-fi and is compatible with this build. (Preferably with pcpartpicker links) (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vQTFhM)

1. Peeps may want what they want but when you put together a $500 build, it's pretty much a given that budget is an issue.

2. Peeps often pick stuff because of forum post recommendations .... someone says Corsair makes great PSUs and points to an AXi review and they go on thru life thinking that's the best... but Corsair also makes crappy PSUs like the C series. That would be the first improvement I'd make to that build

This is what I'd do in the $500 - $600 range

As other users suggested, if you didn't bought your build yet, you should reconsider because you can do better with your money:

The GPU comes with free 8gb ram (if you dont take too long to buy it)

Dont pay attention to the incompatibility warning, the case supports 330mm GPU: http://www.zalman.com/global/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=617

Btw, you dont need to buy motherboard with wi-fi, just get one that works with PCIE x1

EDIT: in any case, try to avoid corsair cx-500
