So I just built my first PC, i wont bore you with the specs but it has MSI A78M-E35 Motherboard, and for some reason I can't connect it to the internet. I plugged in a Ethernet cable and that works but unfortunately that cant be a permanent solution. I got all of the drivers for the motherboard and GPU. and the PC doesn't even recognize any Wireless Internets. My dad said its something about a "WIFI" card im not sure what that is. Can someone please help me?

And a wifi card is just a device that is put inside of your pc so you can use your internet wireless

go to device manager find the unknown device, right click on it and select "update driver software". If you select search online there is a good chance you can get working drivers although they may not be the newest they will work.

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ

Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

That board doesn't do wifi so for WiFi you'll need a card for it. Unless you can go ethernet here's a good  card

So do I need a WIFI card and can i get one from AMAZON?

Yes you can get a wifi card from amazon. Asus makes good ones from what I've heard. 

 

No. Just use a different computer to download the ethernet driver from MSI's website.

 

He said ethernet is not a permanent solution in the OP.

This motherboard is not a board with build in Wifi stuff so yeah you need to get yourself a separate Wifi card that goes into a PCI slot or a PCIe x1 slot. Get drivers for the card you bought then you can connect to wireless.

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-wireless-network-card-n900pce This one is pretty good and has all you need unless you desparately need 802.11ac.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Yeah, you need a WiFi card as has been said but seeing as you know this, and it will solve the no wireless issue, make sure to mark this thread as solved please.
