about the software, it would be a good idea to atleast address the more high end programs like cubase, reason, ect just so people know what is out there.
and headphones the sony mdr-v700, they're comfy and sturdy, the cups swivel to whatever situation and the sound is top notch, i proably see like 90% of djs using these headphones

As far as music tools go I can help. But I haven't used Pro Tools so maybe someone can fill that void.
Here's another possible Q:
What kind of soundcard should I have for producing?
A: A comprehensive list of soundcards suited towards Professional sound recording can be found at:
http://home.earthlink.net/~rongonz/home_rec/soundcard.html
Some of the cheapest Pro cards that are usually recommended are the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 ($350 US) and the Terratec EWX 24/96 ($250 US).

i just got the techs 1200 mk5's, they're damn nice, oh, it it might be worth distinguishing that 1200/1210 are the same except 1210 are black casing (from my understanding). making a comment about needles would probably be appropriate while we're on the topic. stanton 505's are good to start up on, but shure and ortofon for the top of the line.

I've got the 500s at home, and when I first started learning to spin they jumped like crazy when cueing up, but I think that was more down to me being heavy handed. Now I have no problems. Jumps a bit if I try to scratch, but the 500s aren't really scratch carts anyway.

Two mixers that I love.
1. DJM 600
2. RM3
I've never used the Rane Empath before, but heard it was excellent.

Headphones Sony all the way.. excellent warranty, great for home/studio and club use.

Ok, added a few more, I can only add if you people keep giving me suggestions :)
I'm having trouble with the more subjective issues of carts and so on.. when it comes to those it seems a bit more personal choice.. so I'll wait until I get lots of different choices before I put something in there :)
Sorry it got so behind.. coursework of final school year >.<
