1 technics and 2 DJMs? lol

seriously mate, if you want turntables, get technics 1200s, they are the best. CD players, pioneer makes the best.

Mixer and headphones are up to you, they are expendable and will need to be replaced anyway.

use the search man...
everyone recommends the same stuff. It's going to be up to you to make your own choice by taking out the pros and cons. As for the new technics turntables? You don't have to worry about them, they're $200-300 for looking nicer mostly... a pitch upgrade and comes with needle... I don't know what else... (Mk5/mk5g etc.)
I'd say screw the djms unless you're buying them used (or new) at a good deal anyway, because there are newer mixers that many would consider better... updates on the products. The other club mixers of choice being the allen and heath xone series (32 and 62) as well as the tascam x-9 (which really looks to me like an updated djm) and there are other less pricey mixer options to choose from as well. These are all mixers aimed for club use.
