Is there a reason why you want A320 rather than B350? 

Even being able to OC the memory on the B350 is well worth it if you intend to leave the CPU alone.

 

I think that given the chance, the 1400 is the better bet. There are already numerous games taking advantage of more than 4 threads and this will only likely increase over time. 

 

Still, would rather have the 1400 on a b350... and an increase of 300Mhz to match the 1300X @ 3.7Ghz is not going to be pushing the chip or heat for that matter.

if possible, I'd suggest you take another few weeks or months to save up, don't rush to get your parts now using "tight budget".

In which case I would save up or somehow find the extra for that B350 Motherbaord. That is the foundation of your system and it will serve you better

Keep in mind that B350 mobo with Ryzen 1200 doesnt cost that much more than 1400 with a320 mobo but wins significantly in single thread performance and only a bit slower in multi thread because of overclocking.
