No wireless access?

So I finally got around to getting the new computer I was looking for. I went for this ($699 at time of purchase): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227436&Tpk=NE625FX&IsVirtualParent=1


Inb4 fanboy debate: I don't mind AMD or Radeon, I like them both, just like I like Nvidia, and Intel, I chose this because it had good specs in my price range. However, after reading the comments, two of them mentioned it had no wifi access. Is this accurate? It says it has a LAN speed in the specs, and I checked the motherboard (and the specs on the motherboard says there's a built in LAN card for wireless internet access). So I'm rather confused. Anybody able to give me a more definite answer? I'll buy an adapter no problem. I'm just an average gamer, so if I made that sacrifice for 8GB ram, 2TB HD, 128GB SSD, AMD-6100 FX, and Radeon 7770.....I'm ok with that. I would just like to know if somebody can answer for me, because I'm a little confused. I remember when we needed adapters, so built in is sort of new for me.
 
iBuyPower machines sometimes use different motherboards than what is described. You won't know what exactly the system you ordered has until you get it.

How do I know this? Bought an iBuyPower machine to resell at work. Was advertised as having a decent Gigabyte motherboard but it came with a cheap ASRock micro-atx board.
 
I would be worried about a cheap 400 watt power supply pushing a 7770 and the rest of the system. That system is too cheaply made.
 
One of the better cheaper units, still don't know if I would trust it with a 7770. It has 1 amp lower on the dedicated 12 volt rail for the video card then what the requirement for the 7770 is. The 7770 requires a 500 watt psu with 19 watts on the 12 volt rail. The coolermaster only has 18 watts on each of its 12 volt rails. It's 2 years old but good reference as to what is needed.
