My honest advice to you, is that if you are on this tight of a budget, then seriously think about going the path of the CD-DJ. There are two reasons for this suggestion. First, you can start off for about the same price (http://www.pssl.com/bitemdetail.tpl...002111612043117) as you can with TTs. Second, cd players are much cheaper to make, so you will get better quality cd decks vs TTs for the same price. The set above doesn't include headphones, but you can get a decent pair for $30-50 without a problem. And remember, they don't have to be "DJ" headphones in order for you to use them for Djing!
The second reason is music. If you are really strapped for cash in the next couple of years, then you will be spinning with the same 6 records of crappy tracks for that long too. Vinyl is expensive. The average SINGLE that I buy costs between $8 and $13. Sure you get 1-4 remixes with it, but in general, you'll use only one, maybe two mixes, and you won't use them in the same set. You'll get frustrated with having a limited music collection. If you have a cd-burner, then you can at least burn some MP3s until you get the money to buy the music yourself. And, though I don't suggest exclusively going this way, but, you can use your DJ compilation to mix with too. You can burn individual tracks etc onto a cd and use them to mix. This will eliminate the ability for you to use the intro and exit of a track, but this is how I first learned, when I spent all of my money on the EQ and then had none left over for music.
Think about how serious you really are about doing this. Starting with equipment that is "sub-par" isn't a bad way to start for your particular situation. And to answer your question directly, the equipment that you chose is a good deal for the price. It's still low end equipment, but hey, high-end stuff is very costly! I spent half as much on my headphones alone as you are willing to spend on your entire setup! Also, you have to realize that if this is just a phase, then buying Techs etc is a big mistake because you have to front the cash to buy them--even if you CAN sell them for cost. You'd do better putting the rest of your money in a savings account and earning interest on it.
Tell me if this post helped you and if I can help in any other way!
Good Luck
