I just built a pc and now I need a wireless adapter for it.This is my build so far:-

mobo - ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO AM3 AMD 785G

processor - AMD Phenom II 955

hard disk - samsung spinpoint f3

psu - OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W

can someone tell me what is the best wireless network adapter available at reasonable price?
what are the things that I have to look for when buying a wireless adapter?

how about this one?is it good enough?

It will probably work (check with Netgear before spending) but you may not get any performance advantage compared to a (cheaper?) G adapter -- if only because the Mimo/Rangemax technologies may not be fully compatible.

Probably better to stick to the same brand.
