Unless everything is not shown in the image, I'll say that I got all of that stuff, minus the pot, for about $100. That makes the pot itself come in at $299, which is a bit pricey.
I mean, I believe this kit has everything there (except the pot), shipped, for less than $100

And then you can get a 10 gallon SS pot, with fittings, for about $220.

Of course, if I were to get stuff together for all-grain (which I have) I would also get an insulated cooler for a mash tun, rather than rely on the kettle itself. Those run about $100-$150.
Pretty much any 5 gallon extract kit will be beginner friendly.
Your local brew shop should have a kit equivalent to this. You'll need that equipment, plus a 5 gallon stainless steel brew kettle, and any extract kit - there should be plenty to pick from there, so just go with whatever sounds good.
Definitely ask them about how to set up a blowoff hose also, that's something you want to learn early on before you accidentally make a huge mess, lol.
I would recommend this brewers best kit. It's a comparable price and it also includes an auto-siphon racking cane, which is hugely useful. I would also say don't hold back on getting top notch equipment in order to get ingredients right away. The equipment can pretty much be around for ever. It's worth waiting to start your first brew if it means subsequent brews will be that much better and easier.
Here is the list of what the BB kit contains. It's widely available at pretty much any brew store.
You can order the equipment and kit now for sure. I started on a similar budget and just added to my equipment piece by piece over the years.
Brewing beer (or ale) is a useful skill to acquire. It's a blend of cooking and science and the reward is an alcoholic beverage. It doesn't take much skill at first to get some simple beers through and your art will improve with experience. I've been brewing close to ten years now and I'm still learning new techniques all the time. You can start off with a simple kit like this one...

Then all you need is a 3 gallon stainless steel pot, a spoon, some bottles and some caps.
