Hi Captn Steeze, for just getting into skiing you sure knew how to pick a good username.
You should be able to score a decent used ski+binding setup for 200 bones if you look in the right places. Several companies have price-point park skis, you might look for the K2 Silencer, Line Afterbang, Atomics... or yeah, anything used.
There are a bajillion different kinds of bindings. If you're new to skiing, it doesn't matter too much what you get. The most important thing is how high the DIN setting goes, which means how much force the binding can handle. If you're over 180lbs then you definitely want a binding that's 10 DIN or more.
Regarding length of ski: depends on how you want to ride. Generally a shorter ski is better to learn on, and also easier to handle in the park. A longer ski is better for more control at higher speed. If you're 5'9" and just learning to ski I would recommend a ski between 160 and 170cm.
