Do you live in the usa or in canada? If you do then go to newegg you will find much better deals there. What you have will work but I have never even heard of the brand. Like I said, go to newegg. Let us know if you need help find the right one for you.

Usb wireless most likely won't be good enough for gaming since you are on a different floor then the router. You'll most likely have high lag. You will need something with a decent antennae on it.

like what than a pci? and I live in Canada but I get discounts at NCIX which PCI should I get?

Get either a PCI or PCE-E 1x. It doesn't matter so much which you pick, just find one within your budget that isn't the cheapest thing you could possibly find. I've been running a belkin USB adapter now for a year or two and couldn't be happier, however I had two others give out on me before this (D-link and linksys, normally considered reliable...right) Pick something within your price range and if you aren't satisfied, RMA it and find something else.

The second one should work for you.
