So I'd like to be able to play any game on high settings and do AutoCAD 3D modeling as well. I'm leaning i7-6700K. There seems to be similar builds based around the i7-5930K 6core/ X99 Pro MoBo that I also like. Would this be a better way to go? Here's the parts list I've put together. I'm interested first to see if everything is even compatible, like does the power supply fit in the tower. Is that the right kind of SDD. Is two hard drives for mirrorRAID still a thing? Stuff like that. Next, are there products that would give me more bang for my buck? Missed savings? How would you change this build? Thanks bunches.

You have all solid components - there really isn't anything I would recommend against unless you want to consider an X99 solution which would be better for editing. You do need a CPU cooler and that is something that I do not see listed. This is what I would suggest:
