I am trying to upgrade my wireless card in my desktop because my old one was from 2006 and doesnt work. (Typing this from ipad) and my gtx 660 Twin frozr is overlapping the pcie slot on my msi a78m-e35 MB. Is there anything I can do? The wireless card im upgrading to is a tp link t9e ac1900.
 
And I dont trust usb dongles. And I cannot use ethernet because I am 3 feet over the maximum length ethernet cable in stores because I cant use 50 ft because its to short and I dont want to spend extra just to get one long enough just to have it curled around my pc multiple times to use extra cqble length.
 


I would get that if I saw it instores and if I was able to afford it but sadly I only have 20 dollars cash.
 


TP link powerline connects to your socket and transfers internet data through electricity cables. You just plug the first device to a wall socket near your router and connect them using an ethernet cable, and then you plug the second device on a wall socket near your computer and connect it with your computer using a second ethernet cable. In this way you have constant wired connection without signal losses.
 
There is another pci slot that looks similar to the one that the gpu goes in but its probably not going to work at all... It looks like one long slot then a little splitter thing to make another slot except smaller. Its big spot to the left then the small one closest to the right of the slot.
 
Welp. Thats what happens when I am to lazy and weak to open my pc to check all litle details. I might be able to manage getting a motherboard that could fit both of those... But can you link me to some fm2+ Motherboards around the 70-75 USD mark that are instock at microcenter on elston (central) in chicago illinois? I would do it but my iPad is to slow and can barely handle simple tasks.
 
I dont care what brand motherboard it is As long As its reliable and has a pcie slot further away from the pci slot so my gpu doesnt overlap.
EDIT: I know I said 20$ but I can manage getting some extra cash to afford one for about 70-75...
 
Do you know of any pci wireless cards instock at the chicagoland/central microcenter that are of the 60-80 range? Just tell me cards instock around that range (Its ok I guess if its a little over 80) that SUPPORTS 5GHz connections vecause thats why I wanted to upgrade from my 2006 wireless card that supports the outrageously slow 2.4 GHz band only.
