If you're just starting out, you would need a water heater, and a water test kit as well.

Just use ordinary (screw in) LED bulbs! This looks like a much better kit than the TopFin one with the crappy mini led strip with like 4 LEDs only in it.

This. People overthink things.

I would highly advise to avoid this kit due to the incandescent lighting. This will make it damn near impossible to reliably control tank temps.
We used incandescent for decades, and all the heaters now now have thermostats. I don't follow your remark from my experience.

In my Long Beach, CA area, Tom's Tropical Fish store offers a daily deal for 15-20 total tiny common or comet goldfishes (feeder-size) for only $1, selling for over 30 years now. When I say feeder-size, these are babies and tiniest goldfish sizes out there that came out only after 48 hours from birth by distribution factory.

We bought the $1 for 20 total baby goldfishes before, and they've all grown up fast today after 8 years. About 10 died, so we only have 10 left now.

Sure not fluorescent? I had fluorescent bulbs in tanks 30+ years ago. Only the cheapest hoods had incandescent.

Can get a nicrew brand on amazon for $20 or so, works fine for my planted 10 gallon.
I think they are even on sale for PrimeDay right now. I have like 4 Nicrew lights for my planted tanks.

I want to get a few koi, a few oscars, and some algae eaters. Will this be good?

Personally I would skip the koi and go with a few arowana or a few gar😉

Stop it! A few gar will need at least 11 gallons to thrive.

Recently upgraded a lot of my fish equipment through Petco. They are offering a deal where if you order online for pickup it's another 20% off. Almost everything I got was on sale so I ended up saving quite a bit. Looked at kits like this originally but as others have said the stuff you get is of inferior quality. Had an incandescent light on my first tank and it kept dying because the light wasn't fully covered so the moisture killed it prematurely most of the time. LED is nice but more expensive but worth it IMO.

That is nothing!
Since I purchased this kit (last week) I've already spend another $150 in substrate, a Master Test Kit, heater (and a backup heater, just in case), water care products, 2 types of thermometers, a back-up battery operated air pump (in case the filter stops working all of a sudden), a syphon gravel cleaning kit, a medium Pet Keeper for Aquarium Fish (to use as a hospital tank, if necessary), plants, 1 piece of decoration, fish net, fish food and meds (it's wise to have them at home in case of an emergency).
I haven't even bought the fish yet (1 Betta, 6 Harlequins and 3 Nerite Snails), but I bet my grand total will not be less than $250.
For current fish-keepers, I'm sure it's a decent purchase, but for someone starting (or returning to) the hobby, such as myself, these things can clearly become a money pit!
I already have deep regrets, and I haven't even started cycling the aquarium yet! LOL

Lol then this hobby isn't for you. The amount of money you'll spend on fish, substrate, filters, chemicals/fertilizers, tools like a syphon, food, plants and treatments will be considerably higher than your "discounted tank" to grab your attention. Especially if you buy decorations instead of using driftwood and plants... Not to mention the countless hours in cleaning the tank, doing proper water changes, etc etc.

Itll be worth it in the end. Especially once it's cycled and you see the happy fish swimming around. Watching the tank blossom if you do a planted tank and see the little eco system you created in the house. Its something to be proud of.
