Z77 Motherboard (With Thunderbolt) Decision Needed

I am building a new Rig (Yes i am a New member , but i have been reading Toms Hard ware since 5 years Back)

So Far
i3770K
8GB x 2 (Corsair Vengeance) {Thought of GSkill but then Saw their Incompatibility issues with Non ASUS Boards , etc etc so Changed my Mind}
An ASUS IPS Monitor
GPU, PSU Still Not Selected
HDD = 1TB + 1TB

I Need a Decision on the Motherboard:

Among The Motherboards that have Thunderbolt
(Now Dont ask me why i want Thunderbolt , Its just that I Seldom Upgrade my Motherboard , and just want to have my options open in the future)

I Have Picked these according to my Budget:

ASRock Z77 Extreme6/TB4

ASUS P8Z77-V PRO/THUNDERBOLT

Gigabyte Z77X-UP4-TH

Gigabyte Z77X-UP5-TH

Intel DZ77RE-75K

MSI Z77A-GD45 Thunderbolt

MSI Z77A-GD80


But All These Manufactures have so many features to offer that i am Completely in the Sea , Cannot Decide Which one is the Best One for me

So Far i Picked (At Least Caught My Eye)
Gigabyte Z77X-UP5-TH
ASUS P8Z77-V PRO/THUNDERBOLT

ASUS P8Z77-V PREMIUM (Later Rejected Due To High Price)

Usage:Gaming , Work , Programming , Developer Tools, Photoshop, Browsing
I am Inclined towards Having a Wifi and Bluetooth and Having Many USB Ports
I Also Like the Control My PC Through WiFi (From ASUS)

So Please Help ME Decide
Also Give Your Reasons
Ask me any Questions that might help in the decision process
