If you want more magic than swordsman, Kensai/Wizard, Arcanist, or Sage Wildblooded Sorcerer is the way to go. If you want more swordsman than magic, then Magus/Swashbuckler. Inspired Blade is probably a good choice. Kensai's 20th level thing doesn't stack with Inspired Blade's 20th level thing, so watch out. Bladebound isn't half bad if you want to conserve your wealth and have a bonus traveling companion. Plus, nobody is going to sunder your black-bladed friend.

What you have there looks pretty good. I'd personally avoid Quickdraw unless you're going to be throwing things.

Consider picking up the Close Range arcana and the Snowball spell. Snowball isn't stopped by SR, and you need to make a Fort save or be staggered.
