So basically I ordered the 

ASRock H110M combo G Intel H110 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR3 / DDR4 mATX Retail

and it's arriving Friday, but I forgot to order a dongle or a PCI-E Adapter, I'm just wondering which would be better, and I'm not sure if the PCI-E is compatible, here's a link to the mobo:

dongle or a PCI-E Adapter for what? Wi-Fi? If so, it won't matter.

Yah, pcie ones should work, but could interfere with your gpu if it's a 3 slot one. 

 

(wifi dongles right?)

I mean would the first one or the second one be better (http://prntscr.com/a4hthp) and is the first one compatible with my mobo if the first is better.

Actually, you can slot in a smaller PCI-E card into an x16 slot, so even if the GPU is a 3-slotter, you should be good to use another card in the lower PCI-E slot. That said, the practical difference between a PCI-E or USB wireless adapter (if that's what you mean) is going to be slim unless you're going higher-end with it.

Yes, both would be compatible. In practice, the PCI-E card would probably give you better range just by having larger antennas, but as far as link speed goes you're basically in the same ballpark either way.

Alright, thank you man <3

I would go with a PCI-e 1x card.

It will use the slot that you probably won't use for anything else and save a USB port later on.

PCI-e will also have better range just because of the focused antenna's.

Also from my experience they have lasted longer.
