So first and foremost this is the issue. I have a gaming pc build that i would like to add wireless connectivity to as to avoid having to bring a huge ethernet cable with me when i move my computer around. my motherboard has 3 pci slots. one which is a pci express 3.0 x16 (for my video card) the next is a pci express x1 and the third is a plain old pci slot. the issue is that my graphics card has a fan attached to it and covers my pci express x1 slot, so i am forced to use the pci slot. i already purchased a pci express x1 wifi card, not knowing i would have this issue, and it will not go in to any sort of slot at at all. i tried buying a pci express x1 ribbon cable extension thing to try to get under the graphics card fan but that is a no go. it will not work in the pci slot either (someone told me to try it) so i either must get a usb adapter, or a pci based adapter. i dont really know much about how the connectivity speeds really matter. i see them ranging from 54 mb/s up to 300 mb/s. i DO intend to play games through the card. the router will vary because it will be connecting to different routers occasionally. at home i use an ethernet cable so im not too concerned about that. i also do not really want to spend a lot of money (more than 40 ish) seeing as this is just a convenience thing. any help at all is appreciated! thank you.
