Hello LTTF

 

I have had a build in planing for a couple of months now (while I scrounge up the money for it), and I've run into a predicament with the motherboard.  This is the build so far. I will be using the PC for daily productivity (CAD, Word, Outlook, YouTube, and what ever the future holds), and gaming (The Division, Modded Skyrim, DayZ, Insurgency, and Witcher 3).  The question at hand is should I by the Asus H97I-PLUS and a proprietary wireless AC adapter; or should I go with its Z97 counterpart that includes a AC adapter.  In regards to suggestions for the motherboard, I prefer Asus for their UEFI and fan control, yes I understand the Z97 chipset is "unnecessary" for a locked processor, and I will be adding more case fans eventually.  Input on the rest of the build is appreciated as well.

 

Thank you for you time and help.

I think that instead of proprietary you mean that it does not include one, so you would need to add it. I would say look at the price of the motherboards compared to each other and how much an msata ac wireless card costs and choose whichever is cheapest.
