That rig is fine for you to start with. A more expensive instrument only becomes necessary when you have pulled every ounce of sound from your current one.

Most low end (price wise) guitars are actually made by Samick not the company they are tagged with and Fender Squire is one of them. MY first electric guitar was a Samick Malibu 2. Yeah I only spent 120 bucks on it but you know what? It came with Grover Tuners and it plays awesome, I still pick it up sometimes.

As I stated above there is absolutely no reason to fork out a bunch of cash on a rig that to be perfectly honest at the beginner level you will not be using to it's fullest potential. Not to say that if you have the means pass it up, by all means buy a nice rig if that is what you want but do not feel pressured that you must have one right now to play better.
God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
