New Optiplex 3050 mini tower, wifi card recommend

Hello All, I am new to the DELL world with a recent Optiplex 3050 mini tower PC, which is in need

of a wifi solution. This machine did not include wifi.

Any recommendations on a good/very good wifi card for this machine?

I have searched Intel wifi cards and may be interested in the 8265 ac with the desktop kit...

I will be installing this card myself, so any insight you all may have would be helpful.
