I was able to find a picture with the monitor hooked up (I was happy I was going to have surround). http://imgur.com/84iDIRM -- it is the monitor on top of the multiport video switch. And yes, I know that's a pretty half-assed setup I had going on there :D
Edit:
Found more items--
Please PM me if you're interested (or not interested). I'm only asking for shipping money because I'm broke at this point. Just had to get roof replaced at house, 2 doors warped and needed to be replaced, paid for my daughter's tuition next year last month at school; before that scheduled a vacation. We are leaving Wednesday morning but I will ship to you with tracking number either tomorrow or Tuesday. If you don't see this time, I can do it after we come back. Which will be 6/10/2013.
I'm not asking for anything in return, seriously. I lost everything except for my car, three days of clothes and my Playstation 2 (and a couple of games) from Hurricane Katrina. I know what it's like to lose everything. These parts aren't the greatest in the world but with the other parts mentioned, it should be able to help out while you get everything up and going again.

Thank you to whoever gave me reddit gold! That was really legit! :)
Let me start by first saying that I have pretty much the same parts as you (CPU, cooler, mobo, SSD, GPU) and they're a great combo!
I would go with this external wireless antenna, I just finished a build and this thing has been giving me incredible range and speed: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BV4JXI/

Works out of the box and has fantastic range
mine is 5 years old. you can't get it anymore.
but I did buy this recently and it's working well

Get a dongle with an external antenna and cable to move it. Something like this.

You just need to position the antenna so it has direct line of sight to the router. (not through the PC or the television)

Out of these two which one should I get?
Yea, you need a wireless card! This is pretty popular. Then, when you have installed your operating system, you need to install the drivers, etc.
Does it need to be a card or can it be usb?
If so, I have good success with these:

I have 4 of the Rosewills and 2 of the Kinivos. Both have been extremely reliable. The rosewills have the advantage of including the base stand and antenna so you can position it better which can be a big deal. They are both 2.4 ghz N and not 5 ghz.
What kind of wireless network do you have currently?
I got an EDUP one first, and it worked but the software was really finicky. This one is much better: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BV4JXI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_pZPIvgIZhVOer
How about this one?
I used this adapter for about 2.5 years and I couldn't tell a difference after switching to a wireless card.
I'd use that computer to play BF4 and PS2 with pings usually around 50-70 if I remember correctly. It was certainly an enjoyable gaming experience.
This adapter works out of the box with BAMT/Ubuntu and has a nice antenna: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004BV4JXI/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
