Idk what I should be looking for in a Wireless Card. Will anyone do, or should I research those as well?

My recommendation:

PCIe and support for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Assuming your ISP is pushing the traffic, and your physical topology is capable, this card will allow 450Mbps downstream and upstream. Of course, this is assuming that you have a 'pristine' network environment.

I don't understand this tech jargon ;_; I don't want to burden you with having to explain everything to me, so I'll some research and you don't have to if you don't want to, but can you tell me what you mean by standards and all that

"Standard" is not really tech jargon. If you want to make a network work (or: "put the 'work' in 'network'" - gotta remember that one) everyone has to understand how it works, how the messages look and who says what when. If every company does their own thing their devices will only work with devices from the same company, but that would be stupid, so the whole operation (as well as certain parameters, like what frequency to use) is standardized, hence it's a standard. Now every device that respects that standard can work with every other device that respects that standard, regardless of manufacturer.

Hm, okay, I think I somewhat understand. But if not everyone is using the same standard, doesn't that mean that not everyone is connected to each other on the internet? :v
