Hi, I need help picking a mother board with built in wifi, I was looking for more of a red color to match the rest of my build, here's what I got so far,

Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GAMING X Video Card
EVGA 850W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit
Sceptre E205W-1600 20.0" 60Hz Monitor.

I have wifi on my mobo, and never use it. The issue with built in WiFi is its stuck at that. So if your board (like mine) ends up with a/b/g/n 300, you'll be crying when your isp upgrades to an a/b/g/n/ac 900 and your connection is slower than a 90yr old 1-legged grandma. It's much more advisable to get the mobo you want, that has the gimmicks you crave and then add a pcie x1 wifi card. This will allow any future upgrades without wasting money on a limited function mobo or spending extra for a good one that's outdated in 6 months
