Wi-Fi desktop adapter

[Synbios]

Hello,

I'm moving into an apartment where I'll have to use Wi-Fi, so I need to buy an adapter for my desktop. I'm concerned mostly about stability and not so much about speed. I don't really have time to order something online, nor do I really want to order electronic stuff online anyway. I was told N300 would be fine (the signal is sent in N). Here's what I'm thinking:

I am under the impression that a PCI adapter is more stable than a USB one. The only PCI I've found around here is the one in the first link. The thing I'm wondering, though, is if I would be better off with a USB adapter of the same brand as the Wi-Fi signal sender thingie (Cisco/Linksys) or with a PCI from a different brand (D-Link)? Link to the D-Link PCI model:

Here's the USB Cisco/Linksys model:

There are other USB models I could buy too, but they don't seem to be worth it in my situation:

What do you guys think? Any other thoughts? I've never used Wi-Fi before. Here's my motherboard: http://www.amazon.com/Asus-P8Z77-V-L...sus+p8z77-v+lk. Thanks!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833704169 seems pretty decent to me. Gives you some versatility as to positioning, and it has higher gain antenna than normal desktop adapters. You can also extend the area you can put it in by just getting a USB extender cable.

Brands don't need to match, as the wireless connectivity is a standard across brands.

Wouldn't matching brands potentially give a more stable connection, though? That's what I was told. Also, I haven't seen any TP-Link in my area. It's mostly about the four models I linked to. Thanks for the reply!
