Does this build work out? mini itx (light)gaming/htpc build wifi(pci/onboard/usb)?

[MrHiddeS]

Hello,

So, I am trying to put together a small form factor pc which can be used as a HTPC and some light gaming. Nothing too fancy, just 1080p movies/games. Sadly I have no acces to wired internet, when I place it next to my TV, so wifi it is. The one thing I am least sure about is the motherboard, I cant quite decide whether or not I want onboard wifi or pci/usb adapter anyone got some tips on that part?

These are the components I came up with:

Case: Cooltek U3
Motherboard: ASRock H81M-ITX/WiFi or GIGABYTE GA-B85M-HD3 (depending on wifi solution)
CPU: i5-4460
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120M (got one laying around)
RAM: Crucial 8GB ddr3-1600
HDD: 2TB 7200RPM
PSU: be quiet! Pure Power CM L8 530W

Thanks in advance and excuse my english, it is not my first language.

Onboard wifi motherboards are overpriced and it's better if you spend your money on wifi adapter and buy somewhat better motherboard.. For example
TP-Link TL-WN881ND is not a bad wifi adapter and it has awesome signal range and would buy Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H mobo or Gigabyte GA-H97M-Gaming 3 (more expensive)

Alright, sounds good, thanks for your time, I am going to get the GA-H97M-D3H with a wifi adapter.
