I'm getting this PC (http://www.elive.co.nz/elive-i5-pro-gaming-pc-system.php) and I don't have an ethernet port in the room I'm planning on putting it in.

So I will have to get this (http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=NETGBM1003&name=Gigabyte-WIFI-Wireless-802.11AC-dual-band-+-Blueto). Problem is, I don't know how to find out if it will actually fit in the tower that the PC comes in.

How do I check? Or would someone be able to find out for me?

Also I know at least one person will tell me to build my own. I've heard it all before, the answer is no for reasons

Based on the specs of the motherboard in that system, you have one PCI-Ex16 slot and two PCI-Ex1 expansion slots directly below it. As long as the graphics card does not cover both PCI-Ex1 slots (triple-wide card), you should be able to install the wireless card into the second PCI-Ex1 slot.
