Will this Internet adapter work?

[Shamar Holtz]

Hey guys! I have found a internet adapter that I would like to use for my new gaming build but i'm not sure if it's 100% compatible. I a know all about CPUs, GPUs, Cases, etc. But I don't know much about motherboards. I have a MSI Radeon HD 7770, but I have not bought the mobo yet. I want to know if this GPU will fit in on the mobo with my internet card (Which i have not ordered yet either)

No they wont fit.

Your GPU is a dual slot card taking up the slot bellow the one it is pluged in.
Thus it will block the only PCI-E slot you have.

You need to get a full size atx board and case if you want to use wifi.

FYI wired ethernet is always much better then wifi if possible.
If not possible, a powerline network adapter is also better then wifi for gaming.

^ Individually each will work fine.

Together though the HD7770 card will block his only pci-e slot.

Or get a USB WIFI adapter.

My post got deleted?!
Anyways, I had written "both are compatible and would work fine".
Yes, space can be an issue, and will likely be an issue, good catch there.
Also, WiFi increases the ping in gaming, so avoid gaming while on wireless.

Ethernet Cable isn't an option in my case. I understand It is faster but Im not allowed to use Eternet considering it uses a lot more internet bandwidth then wireless. I have used USB wireless internet before and I'm not really impatient when it comes to internet games. Thanks for the advice, I'll find a suitable USB wireless internet adapter.

Any recommendations for USB under $13?

Wait wait, ethernet uses more bandwidth than wireless?
That's not correct even a bit. If your connection is 10Mbps, and assuming you're getting 100% signal on WiFi, then both ethernet and WiFi will use exactly the same amount of bandwidth.
For USB adaptor, this'd suffice:

Oh thanks, i'm just curious to know but did you ever use this one?

 

[MeteorsRaining]

Which one? The USB WiFi? No, I use broadband for gaming and standard router (external) for WiFi.
