It's been this price for a while, heck during the newegg flash sale a week or two ago this bundle was $231. The 5500 is a heavily compromised cpu, having half the L3 cache of the same-gen 6-core r5 5600 and only supporting pcie gen 3. It's acceptable for a budget system, but I struggle to recommend it at over $250 even with the motherboard, ram, and included cpu cooler (which you fail to mention in your post).
If you don't mind a slightly worse motherboard and kit of ram, you can get the r5 5500, ASUS PRIME B550M-A AC mobo, GeIL ORION RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200 ram, and same cpu cooler for $230.99: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Co...bo.4881712
Considering how low end the cpu is, I think most budget buyers would be better off saving the $25.

Is there a cheap enough graphics card to add to this rather than going with an APU?

Woot occasionally has e-waste tier many generations old gpus for $50 or less, and you can occasionally find really cheap old budget cards as open box or refurbished at retailers (bestbuy, microcenter, etc.) If you don't mind used, and really only care about display output, used gtx 970 can be found for under $35 including shipping on ebay, though it only receives quarterly security updates and support fully ends in 2028. If you want something a bit newer, the abomination that is the rx 6500xt can be found used at under $80 including shipping on ebay.
