It's okay, everyone has to start somewhere; the Wireless card it is explained in the Instructions.
Try this instead:
http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-WDN4800-Wireless-Express-Low-profile/dp/B007GMPZ0A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401484203&sr=8-1&keywords=internal+wireless+card+for+desktop
That only connect's to the PCI Slot, making it easier to install.

Nope, they are connected via the PCI slot or a USB header.
The Ethernet cable connects between your router and PC.

It is out of stock on Amazon, and they said they don't know when it will be back. I am buying all my parts from Amazon. When you say that it connects to the PCI Slot and the internal USB header is it both? Sorry for so many questions, i don't know anything about this!
