W-lan card

[Lollipop]

I need a w-lan card i need to know if i want to go pci-e or pci

i will be getting the sabertooth mobo

You could always go usb. Some of the newer ones allow you to move the antenna around for getting a better signal, and its much easier to use with multiple pc's.

I don't have a good experience with usb antennas that's why i am looking into a pci/pci-e card atm

USB antennas are probably easier tbh, and then you get more space in your Sabertooth, say for a sound card or something.

Can you recommend a good usb antenna?

Not particularly, I've ordered one for my new build, comes tomorrow, can tell you then, but I suppose there are far more in depth reviews than I can give out there on the internet.

i would just get this tbh,

the guy i've been working with says TPLINK are very good cheap and reliable.

This USB has been decent for me. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166056&Tpk=rnx-n180ube

One thing to look at is if your router has a 5ghz signal. If it does you want to get a card that supports it to take advantage of it. I didn't look before I got my card and got screwed.

lol what else did you order from them lot, GL if anything is DOA

Case, Cpu Cooler, Keyboard, Mouse, Surge Protector, Mousepad, Wireless Adapter, mini Microphone

The usual suspects for DOA stuff I bought from elsewhere tbh (Aria, Dabs, couple others)

 

[Ya93sin]

Everything was fine from them tbh, very happy

Also, the wireless adapter I have is pretty good, doesn't drop signal, pretty much maxes the available bandwidth. so I'd recommend it for sure.
