I'm looking to build a mini ITX rig, but this thing needs to have wifi.

My options are, a more pricy mobo with wifi. Or a regular mobo with a wifi usb adapter.

Now the mobo with the usb adapter ends up just as much as the wifi mobo itself.

These are the 2 I'm look at for now.

Gigabyte GA-Z77N-WIFI -LGA1155/ Intel Z77 Chipset SATA DDR3 PCI Express DVI-I/HDMI Mini-ITX Motherboard with WIFI.

ASRock DDR3 1333 Intel - LGA 1155 Motherboards (B75M-ITX).
 
I think really it depends on what you're planning on doing with the thing.
The B75 chipset doesn't OC at all or do fast RAM speeds if I recall correctly.

Thanks good to know, but most likely wont be OC anything.

Guess what I should have ask is, are the wifi usb reliable? PC will in the next room to the router.

Anyways, going to build a mid range gaming PC. Going to be used for mild gaming, web surfing, video stream.
