Since this is an electric - how do you like the neck feel in your hands?
Assuming you like the neck.... Almost everything else can be changed easily enough.
Since you are learning - I would spend all my money on setup. I want a fast and easy playing neck... That means awesome setup and bang-on fretwork.... $300 worth of setup money for fret level/crown, nut and saddle adjustment, and intonation adjustment - and you are well on your way with a guitar that's a joy to learn on..
If that vexes you and you just can't bring yourself to spend this sort of money on a cheap guitar (I still say its money well spent..) ..... And you have pushed yourself into a corner and hate the thing... Buy a used guitar at a mom and pop's music store that has already been set up - or negotiate a setup including level and crown the frets, setting the nut, saddle, and intonation for low, fast play..
A really good setup will make you happy...
