Need to know more info to even give you some ideas for arrows. What kind of arrows are you thinking of shooting? Wood, Aluminum, carbon? Also, do you want to hunt or just target shoot?

you might want to try a 2018 aluminum. I would cut it to about 29" to 29 1/2"  IMO .You will have to try a few different point weights to see what works good for that arrow. May be around 150gr. I would spend some time reading up on some threads about set ups similar to yours by way of using the search provided on this site. As for the string for the bow you mentioned... Depends on the size of the bow. How long is it?
