I currently have a wireless PCI-E card from my old PC which i would like to use in this new one (802.11 AC1900) so its pretty good, would i be able to install this myself when the system arrives? also is it difficult to do so? I'm aware the motherboard has built in WIFI but would i be able to use this one as well as the one built into the MOBO so i can have double the wifi connectivity or should i just save myself the hassle and sell the wifi card i currently have along with my old system? do you know the sort of speeds the built in wifi on the motherboard deals out? this would probably help me to make my decision. thank you in advance! here's the final build i think I'm going to order if it helps you answer my questions. thanks!

AC1900 sounds better than the onboard wifi, which I think is 867mbps. I've no idea if you can use both at once to improve speed, that's well beyond my experience I'm afraid. But installing your AC1900 card should be pretty easy.

The mobo's wifi has Bluetooth 4.1, in case that's of interest.

Okay I'll have a little look when it arrives, and yeah the mobo is a beast! So I will be keeping it regardless as I love the features it has built into it :) just need to triple check everything is right with the build then I'll order it! (The one I posted) can you check it over for me too to make sure everything is right, would hate to order the Wrong components haha

I think we've covered everything at length in this topic tbh ;) If you're happy with your storage (e.g. you don't want to get a 2TB HDD instead of a 1TB one or whatever) I'd say you're set.
