No he can find a PCI wifi card or a USB solution, the PCI is usually cheaper and has less driver issues (in my experience)...


depends on the wireless card


you have two PCI slots and a pcie x1 slot that may be blocked by that gpu


 


Yeah i forgot to mention the wireless card (TP-Link TL-WN881ND PCI-Express x1 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter)
Do you have any tips on this problem?
 
Yes, you would need to find a wireless card that fits into the PCI type slot, That is the one of the 2 long slots next to the really short one. When looking for the card make sure it is PCI not PCIe. The reason is that the GPU will cover the really short slot when installed so you can't use it, the GPU cannot go into any other slot by the way. If you can't find a PCI wireless card then you can always get an external wifi card (uses USB).
 


Nope that won't fit sorry.
 


you are going to need a wired or usb solution, the only pcie x1 slot you have will be blocked by your video card

This will fit your board

The cheapest option for you would actually be to use this

This will allow you to mount the card onto the case where the card has room.
