So, i've finally got my new gaming desktop, but im in need of a good, but reasonably priced wireless network card.
Was thinking somewhere around $90 or lower, but not a must.
It's gonna be used for online gaming, mainly FPS, so I need a good card.

If its internal (PCI) or external with USB, that doesn't matter, as long as it's good. :)

The PC is placed in the basement, with concrete ceiling, and the router is like 7-10 meters away through the ceiling.

As I don't have alot of experience or knowledge on this topic, I seek suggestions here.

For now, I use my laptop as base for my internet connection, and I get 3-4 of 5 on the signal.
 
Try Homeplug! It uses the power lines in your house as a LAN cable, it's no slower than wi-fi but your results will vary on the quality and quantity of your wiring, it's cheap enough (two plugs cost me just under £35) to be an alternative to wi-fi. Just thought I'd put that out there. Up to 200mbps if you buy the right ones (older ones only did 85mbps).

Edit: My PC is about 15 metres from our router and under a concrete floor also, I've been using a pair of Homeplugs for about a month with absolutely no problems at all.

Most people will ask, but is there any way possible to get a network cable from your router to your pc? That will give you the best, but I understand that's not the question asked.

Nope. :(

More than likely you only have pci express slots on your motherboard.

I'd do something like this.
