That build looks really good, definitely has me considering it. If you wanted to add WiFi, what would your options be? Are there internal options or are you limited to a USB dongle?
at this point yes, you'll need a usb wifi adapter...
these 3 have very good reviews!

well, unless you swap case with one that has an expension slot,
example the ANTEC ISK300-150, and then get a WiFi card.
the ISK300-150 doesn't have a FanLess PSU but,
you could always replace it with a PicoPSU Power Kit like this one -->
Here
there used to be a motherboard made by ASUS that had built-in WiFi
like we see often with ZOTAC motherboards, it was the ASUS F1A75-I Deluxe FM1.
but its now discontinued...
At the moment I have my A6-PACK with this Wireless Adapter.... the
TRENDnet TEW-684UB Dual Band Wireless N900 I must say I am very impressed. No drops and best of all I am playing my 1080P vids and the router is upstairs. I tested the famous
birds test and no drops or anything. By the way my network says its connected at 144 Mbps....
I had the
TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 and that stutter once in a while and that was connected at 65 Mbps.....
Hope this helps....

TRENDnet TEW-684UB FTW!
Of-course streaming from my unRAID server.
BTW! I learned that a usb wireless adapter is connected at 1/3 or 2/3 of its actual speed that they say.
nice to hear it works great Beer!!!
Noob question.
Is there any reason why this hardware would not work equally well under Linux / Open Elec and save the cost of Window$?
BTW, I've been googling for 2 hours to find a clear and (nearly) current recommendation for hardware.
Thanks!
