does this unit connect to a PC? looks like it only reads external storage devices like usb sticks and external HDDs.

yes it has a turntable to PC port on the back of it
specifically labeled "PC" so i just figured it did
but it was used when i bought it so i don't have the CD it was supposed to come with
thus i am in need for a driver so my PC can recognize it as a turntable
i went online and saw other turntables also need drivers installed to the PC
so again i thought maybe that's what i need

Unfortunately, the Cortex DMIX600 is a (discontinued) all-in-one stand-alone USB media player. It's not MIDI capable and not intended to be hooked up to a computer to control DJ software. It's for stand-alone media playback only without using a computer. The USB connector on the back is for plugging into a computer to allow you to use it as an iPod dock.
It also cannot be used with timecode because it lacks separate outputs for each of the decks to connect to a timecode sound card.
Your best option would be to sell it on eBay and use the money to purchase a MIDI controller. A similar product that also offers USB media playback as well as full MIDI controller support would be the Numark MixDeck series. Make sure that the controller that you purchase comes with VirtualDJ LE included, otherwise you will not be able to use it with VirtualDJ unless you purchase the full VirtualDJ Professional: http://www.virtualdj.com/buy/index.html

The device you have is not a turntable.
Turntables look like this, and play records (aka vinyl):
