it is AC and i have an asus RT-AC68U. we have 60mbps FTTP. I only use for internet. I do not transfer files over the local network. I download frequently though and lots of online gaming

You can pick up one of these, once set up and connected to your wireless network, you can plug your computer into the ethernet port and it will function as a wireless to ethernet bridge. It won't be fast, but it will get you an internet connection.

You can get this if you want something faster that uses your Wireless AC.

This would match up with your RT-AC68U the best.

It all comes down to how much you want to spend.

How much clearance do you have at the top of the case between your current hsf and the 120mm as it looks from the picture you might struggle to fit the NH-D15S both ways, though it could be the angle, also have you not a pci-e below the GPU you can put the wifi card into? seems to be the easiest solution without buying any new hardware.

Got a soundcard in the slot below the GPU . i need it as my mobo does not support 5.1 audio out for my logitech z906's. its actually using a small pcie 1x extender cable and mounted at the bottom slot as it would choke the GPU otherwise. then again i just had an idea. I could us the same cable to run the 1x slot where the wifi is now, under the GPU and then connect to a bracket above the soundcard^^ the cable was like a fiver lol.

I like the first option the best. Thats about how much i want to spend lol. But is 2.4g, would I still get solid 60mbps through that? I have some otehr 2.4g wifi cards and they never give me 60mbps at all, is weird even though they are technically capable of it. It was worse when i was on the 3d floor in our house. But now i moved to the middle floor so i am closer to the router.

It all depends on how good of a WiFi signal you are getting with the 2.4GHz network, but I can tell you it is highly unlikely that you'll get the full 60Mbps with the cheaper 2.4GHz one.
