I want wifi in my New build, but what is best?

Should I spend more on a motherboard with wifi or should I go with a PCI wifi card or a USB wifi adaptor?

What do you guys have and what should I choose for a New build?

Personally, if its only $10-20 more or something along those lines to get a decent board with wifi built in, and you need wifi, get that. If not it shouldn't really matter as long as whatever you get works.

Well first of all, wifi sucks, especially for gaming.

 

Second, if you know you need wifi and you're buying a motherboard you might as well just buy one with it built in.

 

And third, USB wifi adapters suck so get PCIe.
