DO NOT buy a boot based on looks. Spend time to find a boot that fits you perfectly even if it takes you a month. Get it right and you won't regret it.

go bigger on the skis, bindings will work, glad to see that someone on here realizes that they do not need race stock. As for boots you really need to go to a boot fitter and get yourself fitted and buy them there, sure you will end up paying a little more then online, but your boots will actualy fit you and you will not get sore feet because of your boots, and no matter what anyone tells you you can have a fun day with shitty skis and shitty bindings but if you boots hurt your feet you will have a shitty day.

you might want to consider the 175s, 165s might be too short

true. i got lucky though. last season i bought a pair of new boots from ebay. never tried on the model or anything by the brand either, but the price was too good to pass so i got them. turned out to fit perfectly and oh so comfortable.

Skis - go a tad longer. like a  170-175
Bindings - go stronger. PX would be good.
Boots - make 'em fit. Be sure of that.
