Looks like you have 1 PCI-E x16 slot and 1-2 PCI slot internally.

If you have a separate graphics card then your PCI-E slot is arealy used so internally you could use a legacy PCI slot card (which will only go up to wireless-G MAYBEE 150mbps wireless-N.

If you are in same room as the router then use an ethernet cable which is ALWAYS better then wireless
If 1-2 rooms from router then get a USB wifi adapter
If more then 2 rooms from router then dont bother with wifi and get powerline network adapter.

If having usb ports free something like these,

difference is having dualband or not,has to do with your router as well.If it has dualband would i pick the more expensive,but the cheaper will do alright if it doesn't. Both should work fine anyway.
