-play some game (usually lite games)

So there is two option and i just cant decide which one should i buy ?

option 1

nvidia mx150 2gb
8 gb ram
970 $

option 2
lenovo
i5 7300 hq
nvidia gtx 1050 4gb
16 gb ram

You need a better processor for video editing. The MSI has the better processor of the two but the graphics are total trash. If these two are your only options, go for the lenovo. It has a balance between the graphics and CPU power.

Or you can save some money and get the best of both. Buy the ACER PREDATOR HELIOS.

Some other alternates would be:
ASUS K501UW-AB78 15.6-inch
Acer Aspire VX 15 Gaming Laptop
Dell Inspiron i5577-7359BLK-PUS
Lenovo Z70 80FG00DCUS 17 inch Laptop

If games are not a priority then the GeForce MX150 should be fine. Based on some benchmarks the performance of the MX150 is between the GTX 950m and GTX 960m; closer to the the GTX 960m. That is good enough for "lite games"; see link below for some benchmarks.
