Some last minute questions before i purchase my new deskop

[xpluttx]

So with a lot of help from the forum, i ended up with the specs below.
apparently it's a decent gaming/ multitasking setup using 1 monitor

But i have a few last questions.

1: do i need the wireless 802.11N 300Mbps PCI-E CARD to play wirelessly, or is is that ability implemented in the 10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT
(yeahyeah.. laugh away )

2: will the IIYAMA E2481HS 24’’ 1920x1080 be a good monitor for this setup?

if anyone could answer these questions it would be greatly appreciated

1-yes you need a wireless card.
2-Pretty good monitors.
You could consider a bigger motherboard with more expansion slots.

 

[xpluttx]

But is it really necessary with a bigger motherboard to fit the wireless card?

No.

 

[xpluttx]

OK,
so the wireless 802.11N 300Mbps PCI-E CARD will do just fine then?
Or would you say it's a good Investment to go for the DUAL-BAND WIRELESS 450Mbps PCI-E CARD ?
or maybe thats just overkill?

sorry to bother you, but i'm really clueless when it comes to wireless networking.
And i really wanna make sure that this rig will work before placing my order.

I would get a pair of homeplugs instead, it should be more reliable than a wireless card.

 

[xpluttx]

Yeah, that would've been a nice solution, but they won't fit in the european sockets, if i'm not mistaken.

Just get the £16 PCI-E wireless card, assuming you're not more than 10 metres away from your router.
