Something like that, and I was wrong. Drive isn't the right word, card is.

dont need new case fans or fancy cpu heatsink/fan units.
a half decent case will cover all the heat issues.

those upgrades are for high end comps ($2000.00+)
where overclocking and "bigger" more powerful parts are running.

I don't know about you, but most people use a USB Keyboard, a USB mouse, an sometimes USB speakers/headphones/headsets and microphones. Unless you plan on using USB hubs, I'd suggest finding a USB Card with more than one USB port, even though any extra are essentially just like using a hub.

my motherboard had like 8 onboard USB ports, why would you need more than that?

IMO wireless cards are a waste of time.
So I started with a USB wifi dongle. It would overheat randomly, (don't ask me to explain how IDK) giving me stuffty speeds. I switched to a PCI express wireless card and got ~15mbps, and it would lag when I played games because my graphics card was pouring heat on top of it, to the point where my ping was in the thousands. Finally I settled on an ethernet cord that goes down the stairs, and now I get ~25mbps down, and no lag while I play games.
