Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me ... I've bought my son the NZXT H440 Special Edition Mid Tower Case, Asus Strix Geforce GTX 1060 6Gb graphics card, Seagare Barracuda 2Tb HDD, Western Digital Green 240Gb SSD, Windows 10 64bit home, NZXT Kraken X52 240mm liquid cooler kit,, NZXT GREEN 1 meter LED light kit as well as an external dvd/rw drive and all of the Razer peripherals. I've spent months trying to educate myself but I am really stuck for the remainder of the components. (I can't ask him as this is a surprise - He's going through a very tough time and I want to see his smile again)
I need to buy a motherboard with wifi - wifi essential as it will sometimes be used in hospital and nowhere near Ethernet port at home.
I also need the processor i5 or i7 (not sure which I need), decent psu and 8 or 16Gb RAM.

Any advice or reccomendations would be gratefully received by my fried brain.

Thanks

Nicky

Honestly though you could ditch the onboard Mobo and just get a PCIe Wifi card , it will probably give you better reception since most have external antennas
