Cheapest and easiest, a simple Bluetooth USB dongle.

 

Best option, a PCIE WIFI 6/6e card with Bluetooth built in. 

 

The USB dongle with have less range, whereas the WiFi card will have better range and the plus of having WiFi as well. A two-for, if you will.

I had the same issue with my system.  Solved it with an Asus PCE-AX58BT.  It has both Wifi and Bluetooth.

Thanks guys, I went with a wifi module since my board has a slot for it.

Not sure if this is the right place for this topic but it does involve Peripherals so yeah(?).  Anyways I'm building a new system and the motherboard I chose doesn't have built in wifi so no bluetooth. what would be the best way to add bluetooth to connect a controller to my pc?  I could add a wifi module or a bluetooth dongle?
