Just use a cable. Gaming is not made for streaming.
I've been gaming on my TV for nearly 10 years, and that's been my experience as well. I last updated my hardware setup about 2 years ago, and at that time my research led me to conclude that it's not worth the effort to wirelessly output your PC to a TV. Most wireless hardware will just introduce some amount of latency.
Now, if someone's figured out a setup to make it work, I'm all ears.
However, one thing to consider is what kind of interface device(s) you'll be using for gaming. Unless you've got a very unique desk setup of some kind in front of your TV, I imagine you'll want wireless input devices. If you're planning on using console-style controllers, most of those are pretty easy to set up for wireless gaming. But if you're planning on playing keyboard & mouse games, you'll need to be selective. Most wireless keyboards and mouse hardware isn't made for gaming, and often have "features" that make them less responsive during a gaming session. There's nothing worse than having your wireless mouse not register a movement because it's trying to save on bandwidth. There are wireless keyboards and mice that are explicitly made for gaming nowadays.
