I thought on getting a EVGA Z97 Classified, But I want to hear your opinions and suggest me another motherboard if you know any else.
Things I will do is overclocking and gaming. My planned build is here:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/49N7GX (I will be waiting for fractal designs watercoolers, the kelvin series. But i will be going after there S36 once it's released.)
I also forgot to mention that I will also have physx enabled.

I'd pass on the EVGA, their mobo business has all but dried up and away, maybe get the Asus Hero and then more and better DRAM (higher freq) or take the savings towards a 780TI 780 TI isn't a solution, due to watch dogs. And do you mean RAM? cause higher frequency is useless.

How many graphics cards do you want to mount?
How much and how fast ram do you want?
Any other requirements?
What case do you want it to fit in?
I'm not trying to get you to get the cheapest. I'm trying to get the best.
Asus have the best rep for quality. Though I think ASRock is right behind. ASRock is probably also best for value.

I posted my build on my op for a reason.

OK sorry - missed it. There's nothing there to indicate you really need a top end board.
Maybe an Asus Maxiumus Hero at the most.
Have a look at - http://www.asus.com/us/site/motherboards/Z97/comparison... and see if there's something else that catches your eye.
If money was no object, we'd be looking at an X79 build.

I possibly could do a X79 build.

Unless going tri or quad SLI/XFire and not going to run quad channel then you don't really gain anything w/ X79 - the Z97 is a better gaming platform unless going whole hog... The bulk of X79's I build are heavy duty workstations rather than gaming rigsI can't find a mobo that is like the asus but with a Z97 chipset.

Sure, and if you do the 1 touch and it doesn't work - what then? just quit? Working in the BIOS allows you much more freedom - if a preset through the panel is a bust (say going to 4.4) and you WANT that OC, you can prob get it fairly easily in the BIOS with a little additional vCore voltage or maybe lower the PCH voltage or raise the MC voltage, etc...the Panel doesn't have the OCer tricks in mind and is therefore more limited
