Wifi adapters need help

[Borkil]

I'm looking into getting a wifi adapter for my desktop. I have no knowledge on adapters. Which is better, pcie or usb? A quick google says that usb is fine but I'm looking to play online games and was wondering if it would increase latency. Will usb3 make a big difference? Do you guys have any recommendations?

pcie most likely won't be as good as usb. The antennae tend to be stuck behind the computer case. A usb adapter can be positioned for better signal much easier (on top of a desk, or in front of the computer, or on top of the computer)
usb 3 won't make too much of a difference.

Plug 3 ft USB extension cable to the computer and plug the adapter to the cable.

Place it above the system to be in clear sight.

What would be the difference in WIFI usb adapter vs. NIC Card and going through wireless router?
