    Wondering which wireless card would be the best for a computer that is used almost exclusively for internet surfing, video streaming, and online gaming. I am looking at the GIGABYTE P25W model computer and the below wireless cards. I have simply cut and pasted the cards and prices. Please list the order of top three, and best bang/buck cards.

    Intel Advanced-N 6235 Wireless-N 2.4Ghz/5.0Ghz Dual-Band 300 Mbps + Bluetooth 4.0 / WiDi [+$29.00]
    Intel Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n 2.4Ghz/5.0Ghz Dual-Band 300/867 Mbps + Bluetooth 4.0 / WiDi [+$35.00]
    Intel Advanced-N 6250 2.4Ghz/5.0Ghz Dual-Band 300 Mbps + WiMAX / WiDi [+$75.00]
    Intel Ultimate-N 6300 2.4Ghz/5.0Ghz Dual-Band 300 Mbps with 2 antenna / WiDi [+$49.00]

    And your router would be...?

    If you intend to go for wither of those AC routers you've asked in the other thread than you have no choice- it has to be an Intel Wireless-AC 7260.

    If you intend to keep it to 802.11n and not to upgrade in near future than it would be a different story.
