Okay, so the issue probably stems from the USB wireless adapter. Your spikes in CPU usage are almost definitely coming along with spikes in network traffic (uploading/downloading). The reason for this is that USB I/O is controlled by the CPU. (EDIT) By using a separate card it offloads much of the work from the CPU to a dedicated chip on the card itself.

Your best bet (and I'm assuming you have a desktop) is to replace the USB adapter with a PCIe x1 adapter. Something like this, this, or this. These cards all fit into a slot on your motherboard that looks like this (the small green one, could be any color though), so you'll need to ensure that you have a slot that can accommodate it.

By the way, I apologize if any of that was overly simple, I don't mean to offend.

The internet on my pc is real slow. I don't think it's my home's wifi, my phone and laptop run fine (and from the same spot as my pc). That's got to make it the wireless adapter, right? I got this cheap one when I built, not really giving it a second thought. If I get a better/more expensive adapter, will my pc's internet be faster?

If yes, any recommendations?

Your MOBO is actually fine, but I like asus MOBOs a lot, so you could switch to this one if you want

I have one of these if you dont go with the other guy's offer.

u/bulabulabulabula · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

Alright, here is what I found. If you would please let me know what you think/if it will work/ fit with everything else. :)

Thanks so very much for helping me with this. :D

I found this PCIe adapter, it has Prime too.

u/reddtit · 1 pointr/buildapc

Thanks - Ill definitely go with PCIe now.

As much as I like Asus - I was thinking of going with one of these two -

They seem to get better reviews and are cheaper.
Also, This question may get a little technical- but certain standards such as 802.11a/b/g/n offer different speed rates. Since N is capable of 300mbs, isnt that a little overkill - considering my internet provider will give me something around 50mbps? I dunno just hoping your a comp whiz that knows everything - thanks for the advice!

u/epsiblivion · 1 pointr/buildapc

I recommend either the Rosewill RNX-250 or the Rosewill RNX-300X if you can spare the extra $10.

u/ireadshitlol · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

Yea, although they're not in my budget (am currently building my first pc) so I'll potentially be getting this card.

It's kinda cheap, maybe you could find a better one for not so much more money if you decide to get a card.

u/DarthKoalas · 1 pointr/buildapc

Thinking of going with this. Thoughts?

u/ashberic · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

Since you're not going to be using a GPU, you could just add something like this in the x16 slot.

Not sure what USB Wifi adapter you had, but I'm gonna assume it was just junk. Get a PCI-E x1 card if you want but a good USB wifi adapter will be fine if you're not a mile from your router.

u/bitfiend · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Here's a wifi adapter for like 20 bucks that you can put in the PCI-E X1 slot and have WiFi.

u/LOL_Wut_Axel · 1 pointr/buildapc

This one has great reviews on Amazon and is only $15.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006WWMZSK/?tag=pcpapi-20

Go with an internal card whenever you can because they usually have better signal strength and you won't have to worry about bumping and breaking it.

u/Duranti · 1 pointr/buildapc

I originally had a Rosewill RNX-N250PCe 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter but was recommended against it and pointed towards the USB adapter, instead. You think I'm better off back with the PCIe?

I'm willing to call up Microsoft and say the laptop motherboard fried and I'm replacing it myself, try a little social engineering. If that fails, I'll just pony up if I have to, not a major issue.

As for the mechanical keyboard, what's the benefit?
