I have the Rock Chucker Supreme and am happy with it except for one minor annoyance. It is NOT going to catch spent primers without fiddling around a bit with the catcher assembly. Otherwise, it is as solid as can be, has a left or right handed screw in for the arm and performs flawlessly.
As to all of the other stuff in your picture, you are going to get a thousand opinions from a thousand posters. For a starting kit, it is fine. Just be prepared, over the next thousand or two thousand rounds to start replacing various equipment with others that may suit you better. It is all a learning process. Will you be able to turn out rounds for plinking? Sure. But you may want a more accurate scale or powder dispenser or an easier to set up set of dies. Again, it is all a learning process.
One small example (and I have one)- see the deburring tool in the middle of the picture? IIRC, it is about $20 or so. It is a PITA to use. You would be better off with with two screw on Lyman parts for the same money. They go onto the same handle you have in the picture for your brush. No wear and tear on your fingers. Also, there is a hand held priming tool in the picture. You might prefer a ram type that screws into your press like a die. The Allen key or hex wrench- if you need one, any big box store or Harbor Freight will have US and Metric perpetually on sale for about $7 each. Also, RCBS dies always come with a hex wrench thrown in as part of the price. Just saying...........
