So... i did some research and i found that the items below have free shipping if i get them from amazon.com, while living in Germany.

Intel Core i7 6700K "Skylake"

Samsung 850 pro 128 GB

Western Design Black 2TB

Kingston HyperX CloudII

Corsair Obsidian 750D

All of them cost roughly about 780$ ~ 685€, and in the same time cost about 835€ in amazon.de what's up with it? Am i wrong or did they not think that through enough? It saves me 150€ purchasing it from amazon.com cause they all come with free shipping. Allthough the case has to come separatelly.

And at last there are those 2:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EB6O4N8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1465321588&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=corsair+750d&dpPl=1&dpID=31ZwJAVuCpL&ref=plSrch

and https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00YJJBFIO/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1465321588&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=corsair+750d&dpPl=1&dpID=41OpyUS4qWL&ref=plSrch

The second costs 30$ more, cause it says airflow edition or whatever... what is the difference, cause i cant spot it (both have the fans included)

Thanks a lot! :P

The difference between the two cases is that the Airflow Edition has huge holes in the front panel to allow the fans to suck more cool air through the system.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

Have you calculated import and customs taxes? 

 

EDIT: Also, are you sure there's free shipping to Germany? On something like a case, I doubt it will actually be free. 

If i put other components, like monitor or cooler, blue writings and price will appear (import fees and taxes) but in those components i posted, none of them have shipping costs. I was told it may be because of the minimal weight...

And yes... unfortunatelly, if i get the airflow edition, it is double the price, so i will just get it from .de

I'd advise putting all of the items into an import and duty calculator (Pitney Bowes has one here) rather than trusting Amazon to calculate it. It's almost never cheaper to import computer parts from the US into the EU and even if it is, the hassle, warranty (some are only available in country of purchase or require you to ship back to country of purchase) and other complications often outweigh the savings.
