Hi.

I have a brand new computer I just built but need a wireless adapter. I found one on Newegg which is $7 off and it looked pretty good to me for $18.

To be honest I don't have any idea what I'm doing when it comes to this. If someone could tell me whether this is a good choice or if there is a better choice under $20 that'd be great.

I would like to be able to put it inside of my computer if possible, I don't like extra USB things.

Anything from Intel, ASUS, Rosewill, and TP-Link will do you just fine.

So then I shouldn't be worried about the 300/300 Mbps? I jdon't know if thats fast enough or if it even matters.

It should be plenty unless you're streaming high bitrate content over your local network.
