    I too wouldn't get a wireless card, simply because if you don't get a good wireless signal, then you're limited to where you can move. With a USB dongle, you'd get a cable which would allow you to move the dongle to wherever you get the best signal without moving your PC.

    Other guys are right, a wireless card may seem good, but because it's encased, it can lead to a weaker signal..........if your not looking to spend £100 on those gaming wireless cards, then get a USB one which is cheaper and much better.
