How are these wireless cards?

I have to use a wireless card. I want to play games, but ethernet and powerline are out of the question for a few reasons.
I've narrowed it down to a few cards. They seem fairly equal, but I just want to make sure.
Here are the cards I was considering:
1. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F42V83C/ref=pd_cp_0_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WFTFQMNH6CTNDJYNRK5Z
2. https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Wi-Fi-Express-Adapter-PCE-AC56/dp/B00JNA337K/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41HWRQcV0BL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&psc=1&refRID=5D19A7683N1ATZEPG1AZ

I used netsh wlan show all in cmd and it appears that my signal uses 802.11n. Does that matter?

What do you guys think?

Update: I just learned that my router isn't dual band. Therefore, a dual band receiver is pointless. The only factor that matters with these now is signal strength and reliability.
 
Solution
From inspecting them 3 wireless cards, the TP-LINK and the ASUS PCE-AC68 are practically the same other than the price. Both companies are reliable, although Asus is probably more well-known. So its up to your personal opinion, whether or not you want to spend a little extra on the Asus, or save a little on the TP-Link.

Both have the same speeds, and no doubt a really good signal strength.
 


So it will come down entirely to personal preference? If they all perform the same, I might as well get the cheapest one.
If you didn't see it in the original post:
-Router is NOT dual band.
-I believe (but I'm not sure) that the signal is 802.11n. Is there any way to figure that out?
Do any of those even make a difference?

 


The dual-band bit just means that they can connect to 2.4GHz and 5GHz, and them two wavelengths are used for WiFi, so I didn't really mention it. And yes, it can be personal preference or which brand/model/company you trust more. I'm guessing you're referring to your Router when you ask about the 802.11n Signal, I believe, correct me if i'm wrong, but you can see what type of signal you have when accessing the router's information (If you can), but if not, the wireless cards are compatible with multiple signals, so it SHOULD be nothing to worry about.
 


So they all do perform exactly the same, correct? Even a small increase in performance matters to me.
 


I'm sure they all perform really similarly, obviously not exact. Probably the only difference is the aesthetics, and range (Range isn't stated on the descriptions of the products), but as stated on there, they're both performing up to 1300Mbps. But the Asus wireless cards do not state that, they just say up to 1300Mbps, but the TP-Link states "Blazing Wi-Fi speed over 5GHz (1300Mbps) and 2.4GHz (600Mbps) bands" so 2.4GHz runs up to 600Mbps.
