31-40k I am in Dilemma! Should I upgrade my Present PC to AMD AM4 or AM5 or Intel LGA 1700 chipsets? Budget is limited to 40k

Yes noticed. Thanks.
So if I use TP-Link ARCHER T2U Nano AC600 Nano Wifi/BT USB Adapter @ 1.2k with Asrock B650M HDV/M.2 @11.3k then total comes to 12.5k which is more than enough. All other B650M wifi boards with good VRMs are coming for @ 15k.

Yes, it'll do just fine.

No, it's for this board that you mentioned.

Okay for Asrock B650M PG Lightning Wifi.
Then how can we connect the wifi E card?
There is no facility provided at the rear panel.
See here once:

See here once:

You can get a PCIex1-based Wi-Fi e card, and plug it into the 2nd PCIex16 slot. It's backwards compatible.

Asrock B650M PG Lightning Wifi is 12.8k
Asrock B650M PG Lightning is 11.5k
Asrock B650M HDV/M.2 is 11.3k

B650M HDV + dongle. Has better VRMs

Your suggestion is good and since my budget is very strict so has to discuss a lot to get the best bang for the buck parts under 40k. Thanks anyways for your suggestion.

No thanks needed sir, this the least we can do in appreciation for all the contributions/news posts you and other users make on this forum.

If you guys would actually look at the board.... It does have M.2 E slot thats for WIFI.
BTW if you get TPlink T2UB wifi/bt usb dongle (or any USB dongle) the performance will be bad if WIFI router is not in the same room. It will also be running hot whenever in use. Both together will mean the signal might drop out from time to time.
Options: Asrock old chipset m.2 key E wifi (with weird aah antennas) <Note even though it says it's PCIE Adaper in the title ITS NOT. Will only work on your motherboard's M.2 type E slot.
Newer high performance (allegedly) Highzer0 (US based company?) M.2 E (with no antennas provided it seems)

My bad, I didn't check the image properly.

@bssunilreddy you can either go the way as suggested above, or with the HDV. Basically, within your budget - more stable wireless connectivity vs better VRMs. You will know your use case better.
