I would get the first option: 8GB SSD, same GPU/memory, better CPU, better resolution. However, If I really wanted to get more fps I would get the 2nd (lower resolution), it also has a bigger screen.

Thanks for te reply

There is a dell which has the same processer as the Lenovo but still has the bigger screen for around the same price would that be better for games?

what's the GPU though? GPU is way more important than CPU to games (CPUs are okay until they are a bottleneck, GPUs are never okay, you just gotta get the best one you can :c). A bigger screen is better only if you like big screens, I wouldn't want something bigger than 17,3'' if it's as close as a desktop/laptop monitor, but I would certainly want a >= 32'' tv in my bedroom or in the living room
