That Presonus kit would be much better for you than a USB mic. About 50% more than your budget, but worth it.
USB mic drawbacks: You can only use that one microphone, by itself (there are ways on Macs to use 2 USB audio input devices at a time, but it is fraught with problems). Monitoring options are limited (there may be latency in listening to a track already recorded while tracking a new one). If you want to 'move up' to a better microphone, the USB mic won't do you any good, you'll be starting again.
