Of course I'd recommend ethernet, due to the way lower latency.

If Ethernet's not a possibility, just get a small PCI-e Ethernet card. make sure it supports the frequency and technology of your router though. (If your router is 5Ghz 802.11 AC, you want a wifi card that can handle that.)

I would too but, i need it wireless.

That's fine as well. I don't use Wi-Fi if I can avoid it ( I walk around the house w/ a 100ft. CAT6 cable), so I'll let other people chime in.

What's your budget for a wifi card?

50 USD or so.

This one's good

If you don't want it to be so flashy, you could get this one, which is also great.

If you had to use one or the other, which one would it be?

the Red one's cheaper and a bit better (won't really be noticeable in performance), so I would choose that one if my system had no sidepanel.

 

however, with my tempered glass sidepanel, I'd be willing to pay a bit extra to get the black one and make it look good.
