Default wanting to get wifi but totally clueless

Does my mobo already have a card on it that can pick up a wifi signal or will I have to buy one? Its a custom built pc with a lan party mobo. If yo need the exact mobo that it is I can find it out later I just dont feel like pouring through all my old boxes atm

Chances are your motherboard does not have a built in Wifi adapter.

Get something like this.

Oh, and welcome to Tech-Forums!

If I were you I'd go for 802.11n gear which is future proof. An adapter like this would be good: Newegg.com - D-Link DWA-556 IEEE 802.11n (draft) IEEE 802.11g IEEE 802.11b PCI Express Xtreme Desktop Adapter Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA, WPA2) - Retail

Grab yourself an N-Router too, it's up to you what you get.
