Is this a good starter guitar and amp?

Question

My starter guitar would be a Fender Starcaster that comes with a bag, instructional DVD, electronic tuner, strap, and strings. After shipping, it would probably be around $127. I still haven't decided on a color, but this is what it looks like:

My amp would be a Marshall MG10CD. It's $79 at guitar center (after shipping it's about $95) The 15 watt version is $129, but as a starter, I think 10 will be ok. Or do I need a 15?
