If it's a gaming PC you should use an ethernet cable not wifi.

Like as @Enderman said, run ethernet if possible, but if you can't,

 

What speeds do you want?

 

What wifi access point? What standards does that support?

 

Don't use usb if you can avoid, pcie is better.

Well 20 aud isn't getting you much, is it possible to spend more.

 

What speed do you get from your isp?

 

Can you possible run a cable, it will be much better.
