Hi, I need Dual Band Wi-Fi card for Asus G73JH (half mini PCIe). Prefferably one with ac support. Should I buy Intel 7260 or is there something better? I mainly play League of Legends on my laptop.

Your choice is rather limited since it's mini-PCI Ex. If it was M2 you could choose from a few more new cards but with thus slot you can either go for Intel 7260 (if you plan on upgrading do 802.11ac) or simply choose Intel 6200 which is a decent card.
Intel 7260 is not nearly as troublesome as it used to be a year ago - the drivers seem sorted out and stable so it's not a particularly risky choice. -
If you don't have an AC router, the 6200 is what most JH owners who replaced their adapters put in it back when it launched.

WIMAX is rather dead for all intents and purposes and has nothing to do with Wi-Fi at all. WIMAX could be compared to LTE rather than Wi-Fi.
If you are looking at 150mbps Internet connection a 802.11ac cards makes sense - while it's theoretically possible to achieve such speed on 802.11n that would require a three stream card (an therefore three antennas) and a three stream router as well.
At this point Intel 7260 seems to be your only choice.
