Im looking for a good Turntable/Mixer set for under 2,000 and i can buy around August at the latest. Im new, so i have no software.
Preferably not CD, Vinal scrach and can hook up to the computer. If DJ Ravine gets this, what is the cost/name of your setup?

Woah. You're gonna be hard pressed to find something like Serato Scratch or Traktor Scratch with decent TT's and a mixer for under 2000 dollars.

Hi and welcome to the fourm bud
here are some decks and mixers to have a serious think over
Technics SL1210 MK2
The most famous of all DJ turntables, the Technics SL1210 MK2 still outsells all others.
The precision Diecast Aluminium Cabinet and rubber base of the Technics SL1210MK2 ensure total stability and vibration damping and the Quartz Direct Drive Motor means precision and reliability in mixing, proven and sworn by Djs the world over.
£334.00 (inc vat)
http://www.dv247.com/invt/13208/
Stanton STR8-150
In creating the ST-150/STR8-150, Stanton went back to basics and re-engineered everything. These "no nonsense" turntables have everything professional DJs need,
and nothing they don't. That's why the ST-150 (standard S shaped tone arm) and STR8-150 (skip-proof straight tone arm) are built first, and foremost with quality in mind. Both models offer durable construction designed to minimize feedback,
industry-leading torque motor - up to 4.5 Kgf-cm, and an ultra-stable platter and tone arm. And with features like Key Correction, Reverse, up to 50% pitch adjustment, and S/PDIF digital outputs - the ST-150 and STR8-150 are strong contenders for the title of Turntable Supreme.
£625.00 inc VAT pair - (with FREE flightcases)
http://www.decks.co.uk/products/decks/stanton/STR8_150
Mixers
If your thinking of somewhere down the line buying CDJ's or other equipment its always worth getting a mixer with extra channels
My top choices would be
Denon DN-X1500
The Denon DN-X1500 features include built in digital effects, 3 band EQ's per channel with kill, real time sampler with looping and easy to use display.
All the internal circuitry is digital, ensuring low noise and exceptional audio quality.
The Effector and Sampler are built in to further boost the DJ's creative powers. Denon has strictly selected the Cross Fader to provide high sound quality and reliability, even under heavy usage. Additionally, the DN-X1500 is conveniently equipped with a USB port, allowing firmware updates via a PC.
£589.00 inc VAT
http://www.decks.co.uk/products/mixers/denon/dnx1500_silver
This is a EXCELENT mixer for the price, Don't count it out. also good with usb port too
Next up its a bit more expencive but always worth the extra cash and comes with Traktor D3 at the min which ill explain more about at the end
Pioneer DJM800
The DJM-800 is the new professional-grade mixer. Pure fidelity is delivered by the hi-end 96kHz/24 bit A/D converter that's complemented by 61 assignable MIDI control channels and 'Harmonic Mixing' capability. This is a landmark innovation, that detects a track's key and automatically aligns it to the closest true key, removing inaccuracies created when adjusting the pitch. With digital connectivity, a large bright dot matrix display and a wide a range of high quality effects, the DJM-800 enables DJs to perfect pristine mixing.
'We're dedicated to finding new ways to improve the techniques available to DJs to create sensational sets: we achieved it with CD mixing and the genre-defining A/V deck, the DVJ-X1. And we've achieved it again with the DJM-800.
It offers superlative digital performance, huge MIDI versatility and a new approach to harmonic mixing that replicates the way that DJs intuitively mix music. The innovation, combined with the unit's sonic purity and a range of supporting features will advance mixing techniques. It's the type of breakthrough that clubs, professional DJs and the emerging generation of artists expect from Pioneer,' comments Jason Pook, product planning manager, Pioneer Europe.
Sonic purity is a given from Pioneer and the DJM-800 inherits the high fidelity technology of its big brother the DJM-1000. The analogue signal from the player is immediately digitised (through the shortest possible route) by a pro A/D converter at 96kHz/24bit, reaching the ultra-powerful (32bit) Digital Signal Processor without deterioration of quality.
Prices are
£1099.00 inc VAT On its own
Or
£1199.00 inc VAT (with Traktor DJ3)

you should spend around $500 on each deck. if this is something you know you want to do in the long run spend the money on good turntables now because down the line you're going to want to have good ones so may as well spend the money now.
the mixer can be a somewhat cheap one as you're just starting out and you don't need to have an effects section.
go visit a guitar center to play with things...

also most people will say to buy tech 12s as they are the standard most places you'll play.
I'd recommend checking out vestax pdx's, numark ttx's, & tech m5g's; I like all 3.
