Wireless card or GPU in top PCI-E slot?

Mr Robot

So i was looking to buy my first PC and I've heard that you should put your GPU in the top slot for maximum performance but because my wireless router is too far from my room i will be buying a PCI-E wireless card and so i was wondering if i should put my wireless card in the top PCI-E for max speed or put the GPU in the top PCI-E for max performance

this is the Wireless card http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007GMPZ0A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_8&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

 

this the GPU http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0142LN38S?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

 

thanks in advance

i'm following this question and also have a similar question
which is better a wireless PCI-E card or a wireless M.2 chip?

you won't see any improvement in performance, no matter the slot

Please, follow your own posts and mention me in comments, otherwise i won't be able to help you.

You generally have so many PCIe slots, but just one or two M.2 slots. So the PCIe card is better. But if you have a mITX board (with only 1 PCIe x16 slot), and a graphics card, you better get the M.2 chip...

Nothing to see here ;)

what about performance is the M.2 better than the PCI-E?

The wireless card will do fine in any slot as it doesn't need that much bandwidth (even the fastest one doesn't). But you definitely need at least a PCIe x8 Gen3 slot (PCIe x16 Gen3 recommended) for a graphics card, as it needs hell a lot of bandwidth!

That doesn't make any difference with wireless cards... And nowadays, M.2 slots use PCIe x4 slots only, so no worries!
