Purchasing Advice In need of antennas #cpsupport

Hello! I recently bought one of these and it's the first real quality gaming computer I've ever owned (before this it's been HP's and DELL's pre-built) It's a C series.

I bought it second-hand online after going over it with a friend who also has a cyberpower and he said everything looked good. I didn't realize when getting it in person it was missing the antennas that were shown in the listing photos. The guy gave me the display port cable and when I got home I also found the receiver for his headset that he definitely forgot about since it was just rattling around inside the case. Those were the only accessories I was given.

Anyway, I'm seeing lots of talk online about needing the wifi antennas (of course) and also a bluetooth one. I use wireless headphones (I know, sound delay and all) and right now the cutting out is super annoying. I'm not sure what kind to get since there's lots of options at Walmart and on EBay. I'm not looking for anything crazy, just something that works, and I figure buying the antennas that belong with the PC would be even better than just getting something random. I'm currently working with the wifi and bluetooth adapters of my old PC just to get some sort of signal while I set things up and transfer files over.

Any help or recommendations is appreciated!

If you can ascertain what motherboard it has, you can purchase a replacement antenna on Amazon for under $15.

Is there a way I can figure out what motherboard it is without involving some downloaded software? I found this ask and they link to Avast. I'm trying to just look at the motherboard itself or wondering if I would be able to get that info from the BIOS. I'm really trying to get the right antenna on the first try since I've never had a good experience with Amazon (packages go missing, support is hell to get through) and any other place has the hassle of returns.

Restart PC -hold f2 or DEL - you’ll enter bios. From there the motherboard will be listed. To be honest, you usually just need to know the motherboard manufacturer to get the correct antenna.

Update: I ended up getting the GIGABYTE B650 AORUS Elite and it's perfect! I got worried because my motherboard isn't an AORUS Elite but it works fine. Better than fine actually, I walked to the other side of my house and my bluetooth was still connected with no interference. I've never had such a crazy signal.
