Pretty fine for that setup, just add MBAM and HMP as on demand scanners.

Instead of using Firefox, why not use Waterfox for 64 bit machines? Also you could add HTTPS Everywhere, No Script.

Looks very good, however I would add (and use!) Sandboxie and KeyScrambler Personal to your configuration.

Is there anything I should add to my Config?

For the moment, everything is fine unless you might change something as an update.

No need for complex setup.

Try to use Auslogics Disk Defrag Free as a defragger.
It helps speed up your system.

For browser extensions,
I would suggest Web of Trust (WOT), it helps by blocking bad sites based on the reputation of the online community.

For your DNS,
please install 'DNS Jumper', and test for the fastest DNS. Mine is Google DNS.
This improves your browsing speed a bit.
You can also choose Norton DNS or Comodo DNS, they have anti-malware properties and will automatically block harmful websites.
