Guys, my wireless router is locatted 5-10 feet above my PC, and I'm kinda fed up of seeing the LAN cable snaking across upwards from the PC to router and so I was thinking of going wireless.

What are your experiences with wireless dongles? USB and PCI? How much are internet speeds and pings affected? Are PCI cards better than USB and how much is the difference? Any particular cards/dongles I should be looking out for?

Currently using a slightly old Belkin G router. Range is okay and so far no complaints in the speed department with my phone and tablet. I do use my PC for downloading and playing CS:GO and BF3 on it.
 
Used basic TP-Link USB dongle that I got for 700 odd bucks. No difference in pings or download speeds from the wired setup for me.
