Is this a good Snowboard setup for a beginner?

I’m planning to go out and learn some Snowboarding this winter. Im going to go once or twice and see if I like it and then Im planning on ordering some gear for myself. This is the list I have and I was wondering if anyone can give me any suggestions, if its good, or have any reviews on the products?

Just for info, im 17, and im 6 feet 4 inches so this stuff is kinda big haha. Thanks

List:

Boots:

Bindings:

Pants:

I have around 700 to spend and the total comes somewhere close to that. Thanks again for any info.

that is nice stuff and great for a beginner. burton would be the best brand. if your ok with spending that much money then buy it but you might want to wait and just rent the board bindings and boots to see if you like snowboarding and you should think abouthow often you will go snowboarding.if your still growing a lot then you will grow out of all that stuff and need all new gear in a year or two.
