First, do you mean PCI or PCIe? There is a difference, and your motherboard will determine which you can get. Also what's your router? No sense getting an AC class adapter if your router is an N class. Finally what country/market are you in?

For an off the cuff recommendation, this card just went on sale with mail in rebate for under $40. Having an external antenna system allows you to play with the placement of the antenna to try and get optimal coverage.

Those are called PCIe X1 slots. Which is perfect for what you're trying to do. You're going to want to look at adapters that are for N or AC series routers. Asus, and TP-Link are two of my preferred manufactures. What online store are you planning on shopping from? It's hard to give recommendations of price without knowing what vendors you can shop from. Unless you're planning on importing from the US, but then the $40 price you're looking for will be impossible with shipping involved.

I'd look at companies like Asus and TP-Link as my first choices. Netgear also makes a decent card. If you can, find something with an external antenna as that will allow you to fine tune the placement of the antenna for the best signal. But mostly look for good user ratings on the online shops to get an idea of what problems people have run in to.

These two are roughly in the price range in my country that you're looking for and are AC, so if you upgrade your router they'll be ready for the new signal and are backwards compatible with your existing router.
ASUS PCE-AC55BT
ASUS PCE-AC56

For a N series card, I'd look at this one.
TP-LINK TL-WDN4800

If you find a card you like that doesn't have external antenna you can always add either signal boosting antenna or an after market external extender like this

Finlay, what Alabalcho suggested with Ethernet over Powerline adapters, this would be my first choice, but the pricing on those exceed the $40 budget you said you had. But if you decide you're ok with spending more I'd really recommend those. The speed and latency will be better than Wifi.

Did I read it correctly that the WiFi router is 240 metres (almost 800 feet) away from you?

You're really lucky to have any coverage at all, and getting a PCIe express adapter instead of USB (which you're presumably using) won't improve your speed at all.

I completely missed that post... holy crap 245meters is going to be a much bigger hurdle than the wireless card. But if he can get coverage now, something with a better antenna system "might" help things a bit. Nothing is going to really help much tho with that range issue.

even if its 245 meters away from me the speed is good its only 4mbs and im surprised its doing much good , i play Online Games with 59ms-60ms , wich is amazing considering that the router is far away from me , i catch the wifi with a signal of 3/5 with my actual USB wireless Adapter , so i think the PCIe wireless adapter will fix the thing
