Hello there I have built a new PC with the z87x oc board/4770k but I need a fast/high end network card. Which can u recommend?

The onboard one will be fine. There's no point in buying a seperate network card unless the onboard is faulty.

I don't think there is an onboard one as its not the OC force

Just z87x-oc

yeah there is a RJ45 connector on the rear I/O or do you require WiFi for your new PC?

There is nothing a matter with on-board network cards. No need to waste money on any more.

Great WiFi card, I take it your after WiFi then rather then the RJ45 Ethernet cable.

The Z87X-OC doesn't come with WiFi built onboard so you will need a card like that in order to connect to a wireless network, personally myself I would look into getting powerline adapaters as WiFi has always been abit up and down as many thing can affect the signal. Powerline adapaters if the same as been hardwired into your router.
