Medion x7821 3630QM 680m 8GB 2*1333MHz 1TB SSD128 OEM Win8 €1607 or

P170EM 3630QM 7970m 16GB 2*1600MHz 8GB SSD + 750GB(7200rpm), 32MB Cache Win8 retail €1526

Do I really need SSD? Does 1333 vs 1600 different so much? OEM vs retail ? Which one? Im getting it in the Netherlands. But I dont live in EU gonna move in 3 months.

I'd get the top one. Is it Windows OEM or computer OEM? If it's Windows, it means that license is tied to that computer. A retail license can be moved between computers. (according to the EULA anyway)
