I need to have wireless options for my build, but I do not know which should I get.
It will be best if the cost less than 20-50 dollars. (Cheaper the better! Right?)

My Internet if from AT&T MAX speed (up to 12 Mbps ).

I am not sure if I should go with usb or pci express...
Both is fine with me, I guess.
However, if I use pci express, will I still be able to Crossfire my gpu?
I think I am more toward pci express tho, because I do not like usb sticking out of my pc xD

I want the speed to be fast with no delay. (only noticeable for human eyes)

Which one should I go with?
Help will be appreciate.

First of all, how does that work? I am not sure about that...

I will really recommend wireless for me because I do not like wired that mess up my table, and also both together 30 dollars is cheap!

Just seen your parts list for gaming I would not recommend a wireless keyboard and nice.

This is what I use for my wife and kids PC they get very close to my direct cabled speed with no drops.

You will get a much better connection with these. Plug one into the wall by the router and the other by your PC (not into a surge protector the actual wall power outlet)

mkay, do you recommend TP-LINK?

I saw a lot of them at amazon.com

Some of them are only 15 dollars.

Are they cheap?

If you can wait 4 weeks until Black Friday (November 28th. this year) you will find some great deals. I bought my Asus N53 for around $25 (regular price around $40). Same with the Linksys WMP600N.

On my two gaming desktops I have the following PCI wireless cards:

1. Linksys WMP600N - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

2. Asus N53 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

In both cases the signal goes through 4 drywayys and on two different floors thirty feet away. The PCI slots are different, so pick one depending on what type of PCI slot is available and free on your motherboard.

I do not recommend USB wireless devices for a desktop.
