If you are going for a WiFi card, it is worth selecting the AX200, as this is more modern, faster, includes 5GHZ band and has Bluetooth.

A couple of questions for when the pc does arrive, since I'll be sorting it myself and the welcome pack will most likely only be in print, if people could describe to me a bit. So I know I need to remove the foam through the side panel. I also need to ensure my display is plugged into the graphics card correct port, anyone have advice on how to find where that is purely by feeling the case, I.E is it on the left, right, does it feel any different? I know there's the power switch on the back I'll need to flip, and the main power button on the front, need to look at that too because I wouldn't want to go pressing the reset button. I can get someone sighted to take a look but they're not all that knowledgeable on PCs.

The main power button on the Define 7 is on the top, right in the middle. It is much bigger than the reset button. With the top inputs and buttons, from left to right they go headphone, microphone, reset, USB type C, power, the two USB 2.0 ports and finally two USB 3.0 ports.

On the back, the top third of the case is the main exhaust fan on the right. On the left is the motherboard input and outputs, with USB ports and the display outputs that you should avoid. Below that will be the graphics card, which is where you should plug your display in.

As a general rule, the inputs and outputs on the motherboard are vertical. The outputs on the graphics card are horizontal. Unfortunately it's hard to give any more precise instructions than that because the graphics cards come in various models and we can't know which one PCS will send you.

The power supply will be at the bottom of the rear of the case. That's where the main power switch is.

I hope that's helpful!

I did hear the fractal define seven has a door at the front, would it be easier to open that and remove the foam or is it necessary to use the side panel for that.
