    Looking for a Good Budget Wifi Card/Adapter

    I am looking for a good wifi card/adapter for a gaming pc with Win 10 OS. I'm making a pc build for a friend and the max I can put torwards is ~$40.

    Computer not Starting up. Disk at 100%

    Well, that stinks lol. I'm suprised it's went bad after only a few years old, then again it's a part I carried over from a pre-built. Anyways one more question, is a hdd to usb adapter an option for transferring data? I ask this because the only other computer at my house is a laptop.

Thank you for all the...

    Is this a Good ~$700 PC Build
