Will this PC be able to use WiFi?

Hiya, I'm trying to put together my first PC but won't be connecting it through ethernet so will be needing WiFi and been told it will depend on my CPU involved.
I've decided to go for "Intel Core i5-10600K 4.10GHz (Comet Lake) Socket LGA1200 Processor - Retail" but I haven't been able to find much online that tells me whether it would be capable or not. I'd greatly appreciate any help!

Its not the cpu its the motherboard that provides Wi-Fi any reason why not going 11th gen intel cpu ?

Ohhh, you're right! It's got a Z590 motherboard which does have WiFi 6. 11th gen wasn't offered with the PC build I'm looking into, trying to keep costs down because student life lacks luxury. But thank you for the help!

Your welcome.

If your going to be gaming then 16gb of memory is the sweet spot.

Any further questions ?

I've grabbed that! And yeah this is for gaming, my laptop doesn't quite cut it anymore. Getting a nice RTX 3060 with it too!
And that's it for my questions! Thank you very much!
