I was researching on Newegg planning for a new system and I came across a board with 2 pci-e x1 slots + 3 pci slots. I was wondering about how to plan for the card layout and I'm anticipating I'd like to have a pci soundcard, pci tuner card, and possibly a wireless network card (just in case) However I don't want to cram 3 pci cards together when I have 2 unused pci-e slots available. I was thinking the wireless card would be nice as a pci-e card but on Newegg there is only 1 pci-e wireless card (i think).
Heres the parts in question:

wi-fi - http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16833127218
the wifi card looks pretty nice but it would be nice to have more than one choice? Any thoughts? Do you think pci-e wifi cards will become more common soon?
Also I just noticed the layout of the 24pin connector on that board looks pretty awful. Hopefully theres a way around that as Ive got a P182 and the main power connector is hard enough to reach as it is.
