I added a GTX 650 to my PC, but now I don’t have the space for the 300mb/s WiFi antennas. Can I use a 100-200MB/s usb WiFi adapter?

I didn’t think through with the plan tk install a GPU to my PC, so I no longer have the space for the PCIe WiFi antennas. Can I use a standard Belkin USB WiFi adapter for the time being until I can find a better solution?

You had an internal PCI-e wifi card.

It no longer fits due to the GPU (and I'm guessing you have a mATX motherboard or something small like that).

Now you want to replace that with a USB wifi dongle?

Yes. Yes it will work. You're replacing one adapter by another. There's no issues with that.
