The equipment you get there will probably be about as good as you can get for that price. But you may wanna shell out a bit more for the big jump in quality. I started out on a Steinberg UR22, ATH-M50 and AT-2020 and all three pieces still serve me well hundreds of dollars later. The ATH-M40 can do the same job for cheaper in terms of headphones, too.
I’d say if you’re planning on getting a nicer mic/headphones in the future, don’t spend your money on the bundle unless your budget is really tight, because you may not find the headphones/mic very useful later on. If you just want to get recording and your budget is restrictive, go for it.
EDIT: correct me if I’m wrong but I think this bundle has better equipment for cheaper

Well if you like the sound all I use is a rockband mic for vocals, guitar running through a Digitech Black-13 peddle that goes straight to my PC with a guitar to USB. lol About as cheap as you can get. I would personally rather mic a good amp to get feedback and use an nice interface for everything but,I don’t have on available at the moment. So you can get by with the cheapest stuff possible but, Id say pick up a recording interface and some mics. You can get bundles pretty cheap. Something like this to start out maybe.

maybe you should take a look at bundles maybe you get a audiointerface+mic something like this http://www.amazon.com/Focusrite-Scarlett-Studio-Interface-Recording/dp/B00AW91CPG

Would it be worth buying a package deal such as this? In all honesty my gear is a hodgepodge.

I know this is very far off-base for what you’ve listed above as it’s more expensive and not a condenser, but you might consider getting a Sennheiser 421. Does very well for female vocals, and it’s big brother, the 441, was famous for use by Stevie Nicks!
Aside from that, a good bundle to get you started could be the Focusrite 2i2 kit, which comes with the interface, a pair of headphones, and a relatively decent starter mic all for about $200. If you just want the interface, I’d recommend* the same one for $150, and put $100 towards a mic such as an Audip-Technica AT2020. This will do you good as you’ll have a decent interface if you want to expand your endeavors later.
^*If ^you ^still ^want ^to ^save ^a ^little ^more ^money, ^you ^could ^always ^get ^the Focusrite Solo ^for ^$100 ^and ^put ^the ^extra ^$50 ^towards ^an ^even ^better ^mic. ^But ^that ^interface ^won’t ^get ^you ^very ^far ^if ^you ^expand ^what ^you ^wanna ^do. ^Also ^note, ^the ^Starter ^Kit ^for ^the ^Solo ^and ^the ^2i2 ^are ^both ^the ^same ^cost, ^so ^if ^you ^do ^that, ^go ^with ^the ^2i2.

XLR all day, I’ve literally got my stuff on order after doing tons of research all day. Amazon is the primary shopping place.
I’ve got an Electro Voice RE-320 Microphone on it’s way and I think the Scarlett 2i2 interface is the best.
For the very beginners, getting used to the XLR set up, I’d recomment this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AW91CPG
This video will get you started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtlOodL16Tc
(Immediately you’ll hear the mic quality is better than any USB.)
