They have a CX with shimano 105 all around that's within my budget and it caught my eye.

As long as the components and wheels are good, I don't see why not. Ride it into the ground for 6-12 months while saving for a better frame/fork. I basically did the same with an older high end specialized. Really nice components on a 52cm frame (I'm 6 foot) for cheap so I copped it, commuted on it for about 8 months, then bought a Surly frameset. It's still my commuter and still going strong.
