Ok, i'm prett confused....What do i need to connect my WiFi laptop to my (now) WiFi enabled PC. Do i need a router? And if so, would it be the better option to use blue tooth as its currently cheaper?

Yes you will need to buy a wi-fi router.

If the only devices you will be connecting wirelessly are the two computers, then you do not need a router.
You just have to configure both wireless adapters to use "ad-hoc" mode, not "infrastructure" mode. This should be a choice in your adapters' management software, or in WinXP Wireless configuration if that is what you are using.
