Both are similar, but with distinctions. If you are computer literate, it means you know all the terminology related to computers and what it means. If you are competent with computers, it means you know what you are doing. So competence would be a little deeper understanding.

The problem here is that one is correct English, but the other is not. The expression "computer literate" is used as an adjective, to describe a person who knows how to use and who understands computers. It does not need a definite article ("a"): Joanna is computer literate. But it would not be good English to say she is "a computer literate" since this phrase only can be used alone or with a noun: Joanna is a computer literate person.
