Im really Confused. What thunderbolt MoBo Should I Buy?

[srmusico]

Hello everyone!.
im not new with hackintosh, but this will be the first time to create a hackintosh with thunderbolt.
First of all, i have read some info about MoBos with Thunderbolt, but im a bit confused.
I need to create a working hackintosh with Thunderbolt 2/3 .

At this moment i know that we got 2 options (Correct me if im wrong),
-we can get one MoBo and ad a Pcie Card with thunderbolt (only if the chipset is compatible)
-we can get one MoBo with thunderbolt integrated via USB-C connectors (like the new Macbook Pro)

What are the possible MoBos that have integrated Thunderbolt vía USB (or directly thundelbolt ports)?
I have read a lot Buyers Guides, but a lot of that MoBos with thunderbolt enabled, are "discontinued" or without stock
Should we only choose Gigabyte MoBos?

I Have been too looking at Gigabyte website, and seems that the Chipset Z170 its the only one with Thunderbolt (vía USB-C)
ports.

Could you help me with these please?

Thanks You So Much!

Have a look at this recent user build:https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...70x-designare-i7-6700k-nvidia-gtx-970.215934/

The NVME drives are not a requirement you can use standard Sata3 SSDs to keep it simpler.
