OK guys i'm gonna buy my first new laptop since i've been alive. So it really is a big thing for me and i don't wan't to screw it up.
Here are the two laptops that i chose:

Laptop #1: Lenovo IdeaPad L340-17IRH Gaming
CPU: i7-9750HF 6C/12T Cache 12mb (NO integrated GPU)
GPU: GTX-1650
RAM: 8GB one slot,and there is no second slot.
SSD: 256GB
Battery: 45Wh 4000mah
Price: 819€

Laptop #2: Acer Nitro AN517-51-59LR
CPU: i5-9300H 4C/8T Cache 8mb + (integrated GPU should save battery life)
GPU: GTX-1650
RAM: 8GB Dual chanel (2x4GB)
SSD: 512GB
Battery: 55Wh 3580mah
Price: 809€

This is what is bothering me. I want a gaming machine so i'm looking for the best bang for the buck. I know that the i7 is more powerfull. But the problem is i will not have the ability to use dual channel in the LENOVO because there is no second slot in the motherboard. Will i have more FPS with the i5 and dual channel RAM ?

In not going to help you pick either one but when you want to buy gaming laptop with this prize range expect some heavy temperature and power limit throttling on these machines.

I would personally go for the lenovo from these 2 options but thats only based on seeing about 5 threads per week in this forum about Acer nitro 5 having some sort of thermal throttling.

If your going for gaming only, do you even need the portability? Why not go for desktop?
