I'm planning to build a new PC and I'd love some input on whether my parts list seems balanced. Here's my setup: [Link to Parts List]
Also, should I invest a little more in faster RAM, or is what I have sufficient for my needs? I'm mainly using this PC for gaming, but I also want to learn video editing with Adobe Premiere Pro.

It really depends on what you'll be using your new PC for! If gaming is your focus, it looks like a solid build overall. Just ensure that the CPU will perform well for gaming, and I'd say 6000MHz RAM is good enough as you won’t likely notice a huge difference with faster speeds unless you're doing some heavy multitasking.
I checked out your parts list. For a powerful GPU like the 5080, I'd recommend a power supply with higher wattage, at least 1000W, to ensure stability. As for your case, consider switching to a Lian Li 217—similar price but often gets better reviews for airflow and build quality!
Good call on the case! It can make a difference in cooling, especially during heavy gaming sessions.
Yeah, also keep an eye on the CAS latency. Ideally, you want something lower for better performance, but 36 isn't bad right now with how RAM prices are. Just go with what feels right for your budget.
