M.2 or PCI wifi card for AMD build

Phase_Shift

I’ve been looking to build my first PC for a while and I’ve decided to go with a Ryzen 5 3600 cpu and the AsRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 motherboard. My issue is that my university doesn’t have ethernet in any of the residential buildings so I need to use wifi. I saw that the board features an M.2 slot with an e key for wifi and was looking to use it for that. From what I’ve looked at, intel makes most of the cards on the market and many have cnvi which seems to only be compatible with intel processors. The m.2 slot is showcased as a feature and seems like a cheap option but I would also be open to using an expansion card with antenna already attached in a pcie slot. Is there anything preventing me from using an intel ax200 m.2 card plus some cheap antennas to get wifi 6 and bluetooth 5 compatibility and if so are there any other options I should consider? Trying to figure out what I can or can’t use has been so frustrating. Thank you for any respones.
