I'm just getting back into beer brewing after several years, and also preparing to make the move into all-grain and accumulating the stuff I need (which is surprisingly little, since I plan to start with BIAB). I've always wanted a keg setup eventually, but figured it was a long ways down the road. But I've had a bit of a windfall of Amazon gift card money of around $200, so I've decided to jump on the keg. I'd really love to not deal with 12 oz bottles anymore.
What I'm considering is a kit with one keg, a 5 lb co2 tank, and (I think) all the necessary hoses and hardware for $200. There is also another kit with a used keg for $189.

I'm wondering if these are any good and if they have everything I'd need, and also if I'd be better off buying the components separately. I'm somewhat limited to Amazon since my gift card funny money is what makes this purchase possible, but I'd consider buying individual parts elsewhere if they are significantly cheaper.
I wasn't expecting to be seriously considering buying this stuff so soon, and I've never put much time into learning about kegging hardware. Suggestions would be appreciated.
