2x sl 1200 mk2 with ortofon or stanton scratchmaster needles + rodec/dateq/pioneer/ecler/allen&heath mixer.
Some good closed headphones with as much isolation as possible (sennheiser hd 280pro totally rocks)
amplifier and some good monitors
That's if you don't want to waste your money on cheap ass copies of the real stuff, you're gonna end up with one of the above anyway.
Maybe buy some cheaper needles in the beginning cause a starting dj is rather rude.
I don't know what you mean with "and if i wanna make a trance??

One question you should ask yourself...would you rather dj more than anything else in the world or are you attracted by the celebratorial and financial benefits a top-ranked Dj enjoys?
If the former is your answer then by all mean pursue your interest w/ vigor. If, however, you are enamored w/ the notion of money then there are better more predictable ways to financial prosperity.

don't bother...if you really really want to be a DJ then just use cd's....I used to be a DJ for 7 years and now that I am retired I have thousands of dollars of records that are worth shit and two techniques 1200's that are sitting in their casses. Going the 12" rout will make you end up possibly spending hundreds of dollars every few weeks.
