Looking for a good wireless-N PCIe card.

I will be living in a townhouse with 3 friends in less than a month, and I think the modem will not be in a convenient enough location to get by with a wired internet setup any longer for my desktop. I am now in the market for a wireless-N PCIe card. I need something that can get me very good speeds for wireless-N, and at very good value. I do not need any fancy bells and whistles with the card, just something that will connect reliably and with good signal strength. I am on a student's budget, interpret that as you will, so I cannot spend a lot of money on this.

 

I was looking at this card, what do you think? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320074

I'd say go for the TP-Link WDN4800 Wireless card.

It's a great wireless card, and I haven't had an issue with it. But in my case it needed higher gain antennas because of where my router is located.
