I am needing Bluetooth in my computer, I know that you can get a PCI card that carries it but I have very few left and can't seem to find them without a WIFI card coming along with it, so I am now needing to look for a USB version of Bluetooth I have some products in mind (see links below) but I would like some recommendations from people. I will be using Bluetooth to connect my XBOX One controller to play on the PC for some games like GTA V and other complicated and tricky to use games on keyboard and mouse. Thanks in advance

ASUS is most recommend to me because if you have trouble you probably won't run into any issues with customer support or trying to find new drivers. You might experience input lag for that specific one.  

Personal build >  New-ish AMD main gaming setup           

   PLEASE QUOTE OR @ ME FOR A RESPONSE xD

You could get this to try http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Wireless-Bluetooth-2-0-Adapter-USB-Dongle-EDR-for-Notebook-Windows-Laptop-PC-/322269622070?hash=item4b08c42f36:g:x~MAAOSwzaJX46qU. Or got to your local pound shop (Poundland or Poundworld) they might have one too. 

 

But im not sure the PC will detect the XB1 controller as a controller. I have a similar one that only detects it as a xbox controller when plugged via USB.

Do not use cheap Bluetooth 2.0!!!! Yes they work but they are sloww! And the range is very low. Better off getting a Bluetooth 4.0

Would you rather not try the cheap option before buying the more costly option just for testing.

I have the bluetooth adapter from the link you sent if not very similar they are not even good for basic things like bluetooth mouse and keyboard.
