The advice I had and ignored when I did photography was to buy a better body second hand. I wish I did! Better value and you won't feel as bad when it ends up in the cupboard.
As for the lens it will be slow and comparatively not as a good quality say if you got two lenses e.g. 17-50 & a 70-200.
That lens is for people moving from a point and shoot that still don't want to swap lenses but want something that covers a big range.
I have a 18-200, it makes for an ideal travelling lens for when I don't want to carry a hefty bag with my several other lenses. But they aren't a be all and end all, and it's self is a heavy enough lens.
