So have have an old build but am getting gigabit wifi soon. I'm thinking about getting a wifi card to increase my speeds. Here is what I'm dealing with https://imgur.com/a/HzyfqtU

 

My motherboard is this

This is what I'm thinking about getting, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016K0896K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.pV4DbTR4DTV0


My mother board has 2 pcie x16 but one is in x4 mode and it has two pcie x1 and then one pci slot. I would prefer for a pcie card because it has more range and speed then pci cards.


Would that block air flow to my gpu?
  It's a 1050 ti.

It bound to block it a little but I doubt its enough to worry about, especially if you have a front intake fan which should be blowing down the length of the cards anyway.

Alright, I have two fans blowing from the front and one out the back. Thanks!
