Stick with 6900k or go Ryzen 1800x

A 6900k+X99 just has a terrible price/performance compared to Ryzen (and in general), but since you already have a 6900k, it's probably not worth the hassle of trying to sell it in order to switch to Ryzen. 

 

Can't you RMA your motherboard? 

 

In terms of "smashing intel", see below. 

It's up for debate (if you want) in regards to the consumer platform. But compared to the HEDT lineup, X99 is a superior platform with CPUs that can overclock (and thus outperform Ryzen).

The trouble is it's an Asus board and we all know how terrible Asus is for RMA's
