Small PC build

I'm moving my current system into a mini ITX system. I will be using the Silverstone sugo case that Linus used in a build. I have all the parts except a motherboard. I would also need a wifi card. So I was wondering, should I get a wifi dongle that just stays in permanently. (I wont be using WiFi a lot.) or should I get a motherboard with 2 pcie slots. I'm not sure if there's another way but any help is good. Socket is LGA 1150 Intel and mini ITX. My graphics card is PCIE so that takes up one slot.

Just get a usb wifi adapter and call it a day.

Get a MOBO with onboard Wi-Fi like the GIGABYTE Z97N WI-FI.

Intel Core i7-6700K | Corsair H105 | Asus Z170I PRO GAMING | G.Skill TridentZ Series 16GB | 950 PRO 512GB M.2

 

Asus GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB STRIX OC | BitFenix Prodigy (Black/Red) | XFX PRO Black Edition 850W

There's no such thing as an mITX board with 2 PCIe slots. Also, your graphics card is most likely dual slot therefore you'd need an mATX board at least to hold both the wifi card and graphics card. And I presume you mean the SG13?

Ok. Thanks. I'll probably get the USB one then. Thanks.

Yeah. That's what I'll probably do.
