I would change to a Ryzen 1300x. Its about 50 USD cheaper and performs better, just lacks 4 threads which you won't even use if you are gaming. With the money get yourself a 16 GB kit of RAM (130 USD) and you have yourself a great system.

If you currently have that hardware there is no reason to change.

The 1300X only has a higher clock speed you can OC the 1400 to the same single core performance on the stock cooler.
Multiplayer BF1 already plays better with more than 4 cores so yea the extra threads will help in that game and a few more it seams to be the treand of the future depending on the game engine used.

Zerk2012 :

If we are bringing OC'ing into the equation, then the 1300x can be OCed aswell, and probably higher than the 1400 granted you had the cooling capability and a decent X370 motherboard. Of course if OP already owns the CPU / Mobo in question, there is no real need for an upgrade. As for multi-threaded performance, we've been told the same thing about SLI and its been 10 years... Its better to stick with whats best now unless you know for certain something better is around the corner.

SLI has nothing to do with anything.
It's a fact BF1 multiplayer runs better on more cores/threads.
Those AMD chips about all hit the OC wall in the same place around 4.0

Zerk2012 :

1) I brought up SLI not as a direct reply about the current context, but to bring an example of what happens when a few games begin to utilize certain technologies. To say more games are making use of more threads/cores is correct, but just because it happens in BF1 multiplayer doesn't make it the new gold standard. It happened with DX12 and its happened with SLI/Crossfire. It will be a long time before the majority of AAA games make use of more than 4 cores/threads.
2) While you're not wrong, hitting high OC aren't available to all people, and getting a chip with higher base / boost clocks will be easier on your cooler.
