Hey there! I'm looking for a budget-friendly Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo card that uses PCIe 1x only, without needing any extra cables besides the antennas. The ones I found on Amazon usually came with additional connections like USB or SATA, which isn't ideal since I don't have those available. I need something that can power itself and send data purely through the PCIe slot. Thanks a lot!

The BT section is connected via USB.

On laptops Bluetooth cards are likely connected via PCIe, but desktops might use different interfaces. This doesn't mean PCIe isn't possible for desktops—it just depends on the setup.

I thought ordering a USB 2.0 splitter cable would be enough, since there are already plenty of cables around my PC and it probably won’t make much of a difference.
