Simple question - recommend me a PCI wi-fi card!

Hi peeps

Am having to move house and sadly the wired connection I have now will not be possible. Will be connecting to a Virgin Media hub thingy - any decent PCI wi-fi card recommendations? Or is USB a sensible route to go nowadays? (My rig is in my sig).

Thanks

Used a couple of the TP Link ones for the parents. Work well enough.

I have one of these and it's the bee's knees in terms of speed. I've yet to upgrade my router to wireless AC, but it maxs my wifi wireless n at about 17MB/s. My other dual band wireless n wifi card only managed 12MB/s tops.

Granted its a bit pricy but you pay for the future proofing, with more and more routers getting wireless ac, as well as the latest phones and laptops (Galaxy S4 and Dell E7440 to name a few), getting it now, it seems like a good time to buy in.
