you need an amp if your chosen speakers / monitors are passive, if you have active speakers then you will not need an external amplifier.

i aint got much money so am thinking of this http://www.htfr.com/more-info/MR266601 what do you think. Looks decent enough to me for the price range!

it would probably be false economy if you are going to use it a lot, most dj gear in that price range usually falls to pieces after a year or so, if you want it to last spend a few more pennies and get a decent brand, second hand, if its just a set of decks to mess about on for something to do then id probably go with something cheap like what you linked

They suck.
I definitely don't recommend getting an all in one. It means you can't upgrade and it's not really cheaper. Get a cheap Vestax mixer and some CDJ-100s.

i'd recommend numark axis9's, about the same price as the cdj 100's & they got a ton more features
i suppose going on reliability pioneer's will always be reccomended to you over most others but personally ive had absolutely no problems with the axis9's and have read pretty much nothing but great reviews of them. great cd decks if your just starting out!

while they're good, they are going to be more expensive that CDJ100's what sort of budget are you on?
