Forum Systems : New Build Wireless on desktop?

Hey guys, I'm new to building computers and I was wondering, do I need to buy a special card for my computer to get on a wireless network? I can't find anything of the sort on Newegg. Thanks in advance. I have a G router btw.

Some few motherboards do have wireless capabilities built-in, but if it were me, I'd go ahead and buy a wireless-g card for your system anyway.

Yeah, the product you are looking for is a wireless PCI card. or a wireless USB stick if you dont want to install something inside the system.
