I have to design a small network with this equipment. Any thoughts?

The environment is a small office with about 20 servers running services for outside clients and about 15 users with ip phones and basic desktops. The two servers are Dell R740's running ESX with a Nimble storage unit. I have the following equipment.

1x PA-820

2x Nexus 9k as a core

1x C9200 for desktop client connectivity

My initial thought was to create a LAG on the PA-820 into both of the N9ks with vPC on the Nexus side. Then run HSRP on the nexus switches for client gateway redundancy. And use vpc again to dual home the C9200. I didn't spec out or purchase the equipment, but I think it might be a little overspec'd...
