You need to add a wifi card if you want wifi.

Additionally, OS is not included in that build.

Instead of getting a used 970 for around 200 bucks, a new 380X for the same money is a very good idea.. see its compare with the 970 - even better than the 970 at ultra settings..

Also a motherboard with 4-RAM slots will allow you to add 2 RAM sticks later-on instead of having to replace them when u want to upgrade RAM..

Why not a used r9 290 or r9 290x - most of the devaluation has been knocked out of them by now so you get a lot of card for your cash.

An overclock on a K version is worth a fair bit of cash.

They sell well second hand so they tend to retain their value better.
