First guitar

i have no guitar experience at all and i was thinking it'd be nice to learn, ive decide on a electric guitar but i know nothing at all about electrics guitars. i've read the electric guitar thread already and it gave some help but i need to know a few things.

firstly how much will a decent guitar set me back?

i found a fender strat but as i cant posts links i have no way of showing you..its called a Squier Affinity-Strat-BLK-RW (Affinity/Aff Strat/Stratocaster) Electric Guitar - Black Body / Rosewood Neck

i'll post the products specification and description if that helps:

Type: Lead
PickUps: 3
Colour: Black

quoted from the site:

Dressed in new eye-popping finishes, these Fender®-designed Stratocaster guitars have a great look and feel. With a contoured alder body, bolt-on maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard (and a late ‘60s headstock), three single coils and a standard tremolo system - the Affinity Series® Strat® guitar has all the vintage vibe at a fraction of the price.
