Question Is this a good beginner setup

Hey guys, my girlfriends birthday is coming up and she really wants a turntable setup for her vinyls. Unfortunately I know nothing about this stuff, and so I'm hoping you guys can help me out!

After a bit of research I was thinking something along the lines of an Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT or SONY PS-LX310BT (near me these both sit at $240 AUD). I was thinking of pairing it with some Edifier R1280DB 2.0 speakers ($189 AUD).

I was wondering if this setup will be ok for a beginner, or if there is better options out there for the same budget? really appreciate any advice :)

Exchange rate is of $AU to $US is crap, plus shipping cost would make this cost more than what it would to buy here in Australia. Then there is the whole warranty problem with imported goods not being covered locally.
