I am in the market for a new PC and I want something that I will be able to connect bluetooth headphones to for listening to audio.

I currently have an all in one PC so when I connect my bluetooth headphones, they connect to the all in one unit, so my question is, if I get a standard desktop PC with separate monitor and speakers, is the bluetooth capability built into the tower, the monitor, or the speakers?  In other words, what should I be looking for to make sure I can use bluetooth headphones with my new system?

Well, you need bluetooth capability to begin with. Get one of those tiny ones that plug into a USB port.

So the bluetooth option is built into the motherboards? ecollegepc recommended this to me - ASUS Z87-PRO (Intel Z87, HDMI, DVI, 3xPCI-E, 8xSATA, 4xDDR3) It doesn't appear to mention bluetooth anywhere and I can't find any motherboards on their site that do.

Most motherboards don't. But, bluetooth USB adapters are pretty cheap,usually around $12-$20.

Thanks. Maybe I'll just get an adapter. I just realized I could also use it with my TV.
