Budget? The PCIe cards that have remote (coax connected) antennas are probably the best because the antennas aren't buried in a desk or behind the case. The worst are the tiny USB adapters since there is no room for antennas.
This is what I currently have... https://www.amazon.ca/ASUS-Wireless-N-Network-Adapter-PCE-N15/dp/B0053GR2YI?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duc12-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B0053GR2YI
So, I want to upgrade that one with a similar model that runs in the 5G spectrum.

An AC-1900 is a good price point usually -- https://www.amazon.ca/TP-Link-Archer-T9E-Wireless-Beamforming/dp/B00TQEX7AQ
5Ghz radio doesn't penetrate walls or other obstructions as well as 2.4Ghz. You may or may not get improved performance.
Have you considered using powerline network adapters and running your PC wired?

Here is the tutorial from Tom's -- http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/network-switch-guide,4047.html#p1 It is getting kind of old as far as total performance is concerned but the concepts are good.
If you are in an apartment, this might be even better because of the WIFI conflicts from neighbors.

Powerline network adapters transmit the signal from your router/modem to your computer over the home's electrical system. Ideally both powerline adapters are installed on the same circuit, at least on the same breaker panel. In an apartment you don't really have much control over that probably. If you buy from someone like Amazon, if they don't work in your situation, you will be able to return them. In most cases powerline adapters will give you a better signal than WIFI, but less than direct ethernet connection to the router.
