    I need my Rig to be able to pick up wireless internet signal from my Router.

    This one is decent.

    If this one comes back in stock, it is a better choice.

    What would be the best options if you restrict your search to name brands like Netgear, ASUS, Linksys, etc?

    Are PCI cards more effective than USB sticks?

    I've got a usb stick and it seems to work fine for gaming. I get around 10-30 ping on close BF3 servers. Although now I am getting lagspikes to around 200-300 once every min, but I believe thats because its going bad (Had it for 4 years). Internal ones seem to be cheaper though (my usb was 50$), so I would go with an internal.

    i personally have the 2nd one he linked the rosewill. works great. please dont narrow it down to just a brand you like. when chaud recommends something he does for a reason.

    They are more effective, easier to use an antenna / swap to a better antenna, don't overheat, usually have better range if the antenna is decent, etc. If you want something from a different company, this one is okay.

    If you want to go pci-e, this ASUS is an option, but again I like this Rosewill better.
