<< Solved >> Thinking of building a hackintosh with my dad, I don't know which wifi card to get

[ImAGoodNoodleMrsPuff]

So I was thinking to build my dad a hackintosh, I was following the tonymacx86 thing for the parts and we decided on
Intel Core i9-9900k
16 GB 2666 RAM
ASUS TUF Z390 Pro Gaming Motherboard
RX-580 Graphics card.
The Motherboard has PCIE X16 and the wifi/bluetooth cards I've been looking for are not PCIE X16. I couldn't find any PCIE x16 hackintosh WiFi cards. Any suggestions (Also I am new to this forum and I don't know if this is the right place to put this in. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

WiFi cards should go into the pci 1 slots (small slot). You want to keep the x16 slot for graphics only.

So, where would that be on the motherboard?

Here’s a WiFi pci card the large slot below it is for graphics card.

Yes, and the large 16 slot below is for graphics card. This is the standard setup for full use of the pcie lanes.

You get your star back.
