Is there any current issues with connecting LAN cable to your motherboard LAN? If not, dun need to bother much.

One only goes for pcie-LAN if the current LAN port on mobo is damaged or if one wants to use 2GBPS or 10GBPS network in which current LAN ports cant really support.

If you need wifi for desktop, pcie-LAN shld be slightly better than USB dongles. But more ex as well.

no issue with LAN port at mobo just that i wana move the com to a place further away from my LAN point. So have to use a long LAN cable.

I think you cannot hit your full 1gbps speed on wireless ... cap out at around 40% ... drop even lower when you have walls

 

[sanji37]

yes understand the drop in signal.
give n take lor..
unless i want long ugly lan cable running in the house.
Even long lan cable will have lost in signal.

So any bro can recomd any brand on PCIe or usb doggle?

Hi bros,

Torn between doing my own rig or buying direct from Asus.
Saw a Asus desktop K20CD-SG017T selling at 899 with the following spec,
✔ Intel® Core™ i7-6700 Processor (8M Cache, Up to 4.0GHz)
✔ Windows 10 Home (64-bit)
✔ Discrete Graphics GT 730 with 2GB DDR3
✔ 8GB DDR4 RAM / 1TB SATA HDD +128GB SSD
✔ SuperMulti DVD RW
✔ 6-in-1 Card Reader/ USB 3.0/ USB 2.0/ Microphone Port/ Headphone Port/ HDMI Output/ VGA Output
✔ 3 Years ASUS ON-SITE Warranty

Is this a better deal or diy a rig with the same spec?
Main purpose is to do some video and photo editing works.

The Asus Rig is decent for editing.
$899 with 3 years of support aint a bad deal.

Just make sure you upgrade whatever you need to upgrade first

Brand doesn't matter, make sure it's at least an AC1200 to hit a good speed for 1Gbps.
