Network cards for new PC

[Themlgprawn]

I am looking to build a new PC and wanted to know if i need a network card to use wireless internet

some motherboards have wifi cards as part of there feature. most do not. for wifi you can use a built in card or a usb wifi stick. the wifi stick are great if your pc is close to the router. you dont have to open the pc or fill a pci slot.

WiFi sticks can be sub par, with lower speeds compared to an Ethernet connection. If you plan on downloading a lot of things, you would be advised to get the system connected via Ethernet rather than WiFi, or use a Powerline adapter kit like this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-PA411KIT-Powerline-Adapter-Starter/dp/B0084Y9N3O/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1422526782&sr=1-1&keywords=powerline+adapter

This will plug into your mains socket, and provide an ethernet point through your sockets, a much better idea than using WiFi on a desktop PC.
