I'm choosing my first build and still figuring out the motherboard. I've picked micro ATX with AM4, but the one I'm eyeing (Gigabyte B550M AORUS PRO-P) lacks Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which I really need. The router is on the opposite side of the house, so moving it would be tough, and running a cable would be a hassle. I also require Bluetooth for my speakers and headphones. Worth it to get the board and then buy adapters? Maybe. Any advice would be great! Thanks a lot!

Used a Linksy BT adapter and a TP link 150mb/s Wi-Fi adapter for years. You’ll experience higher ping compared to built-in, but it should still function. Just remember to install drivers after plugging in or download them from a DVD.

The selection options are limited, as seen on PCpartpicker. https://pcpartpicker.com/products/mother...ice&page=1 I’d choose the MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI for cost savings, and the Asus TUF Gaming B550M-PLUS Wi-fi if you’re okay spending a bit more.

The vdh usually comes in lower quality, but the cost advantage makes it a better choice
