I am looking forward to buying new PC.
with my budget of 190-200$ for the motherboard (according to my country)
I can have the following,
Asus z270H rog gaming - 197$
gigabyte z270 gaming k5 -197$
gigabyte z270x ultra gaming - 189$
I saw gigabyte is saying to have Thunderbolt headers on the motherboard, whereas Asus is not saying.
Does that mean can I never adopt a Thunderbolt support in the ASUS motherboard?
Moreover, which one will be good according to bios user friendliness for tweaking CPU and RAM (Confusion is that reviews always prefer Asus), Sound quality, More future proofing?

About ASUS mobo and Thunderbolt, I tried to filter mobos with Thunderbolt on ASUS website, only several Z170 mobos appear.
I guess, there are no Z270 mobos from ASUS with Thunderbolt.

Looking the specs of the mobo, I also casn not find Thunderbolt.

If the website say, that the mobos have Thunderbolt, the mobos have Thunderbolt. If not than not.

If you really need Thunderbold and if the mobo does not support, you can still look for Thunderbold PCIe adapters.

I used MSI, Gigabyte and ASUS. I have never had problems with the BIOS UI. Switching between brands will just need a simple adaptation as user.

Sound quality, all onboard sound quality are more or less similar. Onboard soundcard is already enough for most users. Sound quality depends more on your speakers/headphones than on the soundcard.

I saw that ,
I have to add a PCIE add in card and connect it to Thundervolt header in the motherboard for Thunderbolt AIC support.
Gigabyte motherboards mentioned here are saying they have the Thunderbolt Header, where as Asus is not saying anything. Please shed some light here. I am confused.
