That's a 01 head, as other anon already pointed out, on an MDD body.
The eyes you linked to aren't like those in the picture. You should be looking for cat eyes, like these (just in different color, maybe some other anon might know where to buy similar ones):

Depending on how fast you want a doll like that, it should be around 30k Yen for the body and 20k for a decent head (if you don't go for super popular artists like Ronronshuka etc.), most heads in Y!Japan auctions already come with some basic eyes. Then depending on what quality and brand you want, about another 24k for a soft wig, cute outfit, eyes of your choosing and shoes. This shouldn't take you more than a month to gather.

If you're in no hurry and with enough patience, you can get off cheaper of course.

Well, at least you're brave enough to post pictures of your girl, even at a stage where you're not satisfied with it. I take pictures and set up elaborate photo sessions, even got/made some props and a whole room for mine but those pictures will never see the light of day since I'm 1000% shy and insecure about everything and only see the imperfections.
So as you can see I might be giving somewhat good advice, but fail at taking it myself.

Same goes for sticking to one doll for (at least) a while. I started off with DDdy Miko but (as polar opposite to you) was a bit stunted by the enormous size all-round. So I immediately turned to MDD and the snowball kept rolling until I ended up with 7 DDs and 3 floating heads within 7 months. I was lucky to be able to hunt them down for super cheap though. Haven't spent more than 300 USD on a single doll. Mirai being the most expensive, some even under 200USD (and in practically unused condition). Sad part is, I don't even have names for most of them either...
Then there was an unfortunate series of clothing articles which were really disappointing and didn't fit together or on the dolls at all. Now I'm mostly sticking to (Volks) sets that specifically state that they're made for the size I need.

So yeah, you're likely to go through some bad downs along the ups. But it's all worth it once you experience the feeling of everything, from outfit to wig, coming together in tasteful harmony and you know you've done the character justice. I've also found it's way more fun when you dress them weather appropriate. I find it super hard looking at one of them in a summer dress if it's around 8°C outside.
