I've thought about that, yeah. I've been looking at whether or not they ship to Europe, they do, but I am not too sure about the price. I think it's 25 dollars? So 8 times 25 is 200 dollars.... Which is about 150 euros and that means 700 + 150 euros = 850 euros. It doesn't differ much...

Shipping should be like 50 bucks total....

Wait, it adds up together? OH SHIT. .___________________.
As in: The shipping costs is calculated by the stuff altogether.

Welcome to my life...
Proper computers are so hard to find in Violet...

:/ Well, I want to build myself a computer really soon.
Here's what I have in mind:
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912
Power Supply: Corsair 650TX V2 - (It would probably be about 30 bucks cheaper to just go with something like a Raidmax RX-600AF)
CPU: Intel i5-3570K -
Heatsink: Thermaltake Frio - (Not that great of a heatsink tbh, but at the same time, it doesn't matter that much on Ivy anyways, given that the IHS has crappy thermal paste)
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V LK - (And Asrock Z75 Pro3 would be cheaper and it's not like the mobo is that important)
Memory: 8GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 - (At least for Newegg, which I'm pretty sure doesn't ship to you, checking to see whatever the best deal is at the time can result in sometimes getting faster RAM for less. Like, when I built 7 comps for my lab, (2x4GB) 1866 sets were like 30 bucks.
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX660
Hard Drive: Western Digital 1TB Caviar Black(Unless you're going to be storing a lot of movies and such, you might consider a cheap sata III ssd like a Crucial M500)

Funny thing is: If I lived in America, this would sum up to be around 900-1000 dollars which is like 700-770 euros. But since I live in Holland, things are much more expensive and thus it'll be around 800-900 euros.... :/ 1000 - 1200 dollars. >_>

How can your laptop have the same specs as this desktop?

I think... the shipping for the laptop would be about.... 80 bucks? Which then means: 680 dollars which is 518 euros.
Quite alright.
The parts of the desktop and then calculated by packages would be about: $173.88 - $193.20
Which means: 1073 dollars to 1093 dollars which is about: 818.52 to 833.78 euros.

how could it not.....
Oh wait
When I said same specs I was speaking
RAM
HDD
CPU
GPU(almost)

I guess better phrasing would be comprable specs?

I just meant that the GTX 660 is supposedly comparable to the GTX 670M in terms of performance and the i5-3570k is comparable to somewhere in between the i7-3635QM and i7-3630QM, assuming we're not counting potential overclocking.

I guess I was just really surprised to hear that after seeing the price of your laptop.

Yeah.... It's annoying, it's unfair but we gotta deal with it. *Sigh*
