Buying an unknown need help!!

Ok I'm buying an unknown lv 1. Really just looking to ride to school not racing or anything. I'm on a budget and I want to know what are some good components to make up the bike. I'm also 6 ft so what size should I get?

If you are "on a budget" , look into a complete bike unless the budget is close to $1000
