    Definitely LAN, cables are always more reliable in my opinion. Plus all motherboards come with a LAN input, so it can also be cheaper.
    Low-profile coolers aren't necessarily cheaper; the Hyper 212 Evo is a decent cooler and only costs $25.

    The motherboard you selected costs 220€ in Germany; you can get a good Z270 motherboard for around 140€ already. Really the only benefits it has are better looks, Wi-Fi/bluetooth and RGB lighting options.

    If I want to attach a LAN cable, would it be plugged directly into the motherboard?

    Intel runs cool and most of the CPUs come with a basic cooler. With good airflow in the case, you would easily be able to get away with running the one it comes with.

    For a wired connection you need an Ethernet cable that would plug from your modem/router into your motherboard. Wired connections tend to be more stable and quicker, depending on where your WIFI router is.

    Get a few friends who like computers and wait until they decide to upgrade theirs. I'm getting one for half of the price ($600 exact) of the original and having a bud Dan build it for me. My current is a crappy stock Gateway from 2008 XD
