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.

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
