I see that but those are useless to me o.O my original desktop had one but we bought the card and drilled antennas in my computer and it works awesome it' just a crap computer compared to what I need for my game... so I want to do this one... but I'm looking at one on Amazon and it says wifi ready so I'm thinking it' already installed... idk..

By WiFi ready for the PC they mean "here is a cheap USB wifi dongle, plug it into a USB port and go at it"

You can install a PCI wifi card if you want, but those are probably just as bad, if not worse than USB wifi. There is a second PCIe slot but it's covered up by the GPU leaving you just a PCI slot.

 

 

On a different note, have you looked at building the PC yourself? You'll get much better value for about the same price.

 

Something like this:

Pci e thank you. Were did you find that tho? Seems it would be easy to find... but I've looked everywhere. It' really not as useless as the dongle o.O dongle sucked on my computer installed a card for the 5000 and 2500 network. Works awesome... so hoping with a better computer it will be better... thanks
