Hi, I'm building a new PC for myself, and I was wondering if i needed a NIC for my computer. I don't know a lot about them, so I thought i'll just ask. I do have a Wireless Router on my old PC in my basement, but my new PC is going to go in my room, upstairs. So, do i need a NIC? No, i'm not moving my Router. Is there an NIC build in to the motherboard or what?
Heres what im getting:

CPU: Intel® Core™ i3-3220 3.30 GHz 3MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1155

Motherboard: [CrossFireX] ASUS P8Z77-V LX Intel Z77 Chipset DDR3 ATX Mainboard w/ IRST, Lucid Virtu MVP, 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, 2x PCIe x16 (1 Gen3, 1 Gen2), 2x PCIe x1 & 3 PCI (Extreme OC Certified)

If I need one, will this work?
NIC: PCI Wireless 802.11n 150Mbps Network Interface Card


So again, what do I need to get wifi on my new PC.
 
Solution
Yes you will need a wireless NIC if you want to use Wifi.
The card you have chosen will work just fine.

Lets just hope you have enough signal strength in your room.
