Ok so I managed to pick up a gtx 1050ti on what I felt was a good price, and with my current setup will be adequate.
My problem is that in my current setup I'm using a pci wireless adapter (going to talk to landlord about running cable under the floor) I got a usb dongle ve2500 by someone (I am at work its a rebranded Cisco) but it doesn't have Linux support. Is there any way I can get it to work on Linux?
Does your motherboard have 2 pci slots? Because you should be able to run the card in a 8x slot and the gpu in a 32x slot.
Otherwise there should be a driver for the usb dongle online somewhere, what model is it exactly because I might be able to help you find one, but searching ve2500 turned up nothing!
I think there is a x16 x4 and x1, the wifi card is x1 the one I think is x4 isn't quite the same as the x16. I saw the x4 and got excited installed the new psu and then went to put the gpu in but it's not the same. I spent a while looking for drivers but had no luck will get the model when I'm home from work.
a lot of wireless should 'just work'.
I have a small TPLINK USB WiFi adapter. It works without any driver installs from me on Arch, Manjaro, Mint and Ubuntu. It is wireless N, but it works. TL-WN723N
Well the chipset on the card is any one of 5 companies. If you can figure out the chipset then you'll be able to get it to werk with some google wizardry :3
Your Google-foo is strong.

Ok work has been rediculous finally think I have some time to try resolve this.
It's a Linksys AE2500.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Note I'm still in the process I've trying to get permission to drill two holes, one by the modem, one in my room, to run a cable. But until then I still have games I want to play, obviously these are single player.
It was AE. Work has been crazy just had a few hours spare this morning. Not hugely important at the moment as I'm hardly home but some help would be really appreciated.
Are you not able to use a PCI slot?
mATX board, I currently have one in but it's in the way of the gpu I want to install.
