It doesn't really make sense to build an AC5300 adapter. That would be a tri-band adapter. Unlike routers, Wi-Fi adapters use only one band at a time. They'll connect either at 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, not simultaneously.
The fastest 802.11ac adapter that makes sense to build would be a dual-band, 4x4 stream adapter, like the one below. It's an AC3100 class adapter (2100 Mbps at 5 GHz or 1000 Mbps at 2.4 GHz). You need a 4x4 stream router, also.
I have a R8500 so not a problem.
An AC 5300 adapter would be great to use MIMO in order to bond channels and bandwidth!
