1) Will this PC i'm planning to build be a medium level gaming pc?
2) Will these parts even be compatible?
3) have i missed anything that is needed in a pc? (my case comes with a fan so don't mention that)
4) will they fit in my case?
5) Is my power source enough to power the whole pc?

1. yes
2. yes
3. you're missing an operating system, and also a CD/DVD drive if you wish to install using a CD
4. they should fit.
5. yes, and it's a good model you've got there

Agreed! Decent choices....Except you are getting a non k cpu with an overclocking mainboard. You could get a h97 board and save a few bucks if you do not plan on overclocking in the future.

You are missing an OS and you can get a cheaper motherboard that does not require OCing.

I do not plan Over Clocking as this will be my first gaming PC and i would not tamper with it no matter how safe OC-ing is.... so what do you recommend i switch my motherboard to? please provide a link as when i searched the H97 i got no results....

I do not plan on OC-ing so i will definitely be getting a different motherboard and i think that i'm going to use Linux until i can afford a more expensive OS like Windows as this is already a £600 PC it will take me a while to save up as it is. I also have 3 spare PCs, one is black so i might be able to use it's disk tray.
