Looks good to me. The only thing that I'd change would be to get a Gigabyte mobo over the ASUS. While I like ASUS, they havent updated any of their AM3+ mobos recently, while Gigabyte has.

Here. I based on nhatduy1611's build, but removed the incompatibilities, as well as made it stronger. Take note, my price is without the MIR, so you can actually lower that even further.
