Want to start my audiophile journey and need advise

Hey there, as the title says I want to start my journey on listening to music in a better quality, so I started looking on facebook marketplace for turntables as i have some vinyl records and found an audiotechnica LP60X, i read online its pretty basic, but the thing is the seller sells it in combo with a cambridge audio RX85 receiver paired with a couple of SX-50 cambridge passive speakers, its just in the limit of my budget in about 650$, I checked and for retail those things went for around 600$ so adding the turntable i believe it's a pretty good deal. My plan was to buy an LP120XUSB at the end of the year, it was gonna cost me about 600$ by itself and some active speakers to be able to use it, later on upgrading to passive speakers, but with this combo I found online I don't know if I should still wait as i had planned or go for it. I should add that I'm in college and kinda broke, also I'm Costa Rican and importing anything electronics-wise here is quite expensive and adds about 50% of the price or more, so if something goes for 100$ it will cost me about 150$ to ship it here. I'm looking for any recommendation, if anyone has had experience with any of this equipment, any recommendations are welcomed.
