You can buy a Fender Stratocaster and an amp for about that price.  The strat is very versatile (rock, blues, reggae).  It doesn't have to be made in America.  I have an MIM strat, and the action is as good as my MIA strat.

As far as the amp goes it depends on the music you want to play.  I assume you will be playing at home, so you won't need much more than 10-15 watts.  That lowers the price quite a bit. The Fender Mustang is a great modeling amp.  The Yamaha THR10 series is great too, but you have to know what kind of music you want to play, as the different models offer maybe 5-6 different sounds.  They are very small, and plenty loud for the home.

Either way, you should try the guitar (and amp) out at a music store.  That way you can feel the guitar out, and hear the amp out as well.  If you like the guitar, see if you can get a better deal online.  I have gotten great deals on new/used guitars at places like ebay, reverb, and sweetwater.
