Since u are getting a big casing, I did suggest u get those PCI-E WiFi adapter which is much more better. Can consider on Asus PCIE AC68.

Most motherboards don't come with a Wifi built in. Only 2 i've seen with built-in Wifi in SG are Mini-ITX boards from Gigabyte and ASRock,

A budget way to add good wifi is...
If you get the ASRock X370 Killer SLI, it has an empty M.2 Wifi slot...

You can purchase a budget Intel 8265 AC m.2 wifi/bluetooth card and antennas from Taobao for less than $30. Slot it in, and you'll have Wifi+Bluetooth.

I did that to my build so that I can use the Bluetooth for PS4 controller. haha.

Speed is 867 mbps on 5Ghz...It is a dual-band.

Another way would be to just get an AB350 motherboard and add own PCIe Wifi Card

TP-Link Archer T6E - 867 mbps on 5Ghz - $55

Asus PCIe Wifi, 1300mbps on 5Ghz - $125
