nofxthepirate got a reaction from kaiju_wars in Can a 1050 Ti run 2 monitors at once while gaming on one?
Thanks for all the information I really appreciate it, I think I'm finally ready to move forward on this build!

I can't imagine what else would need to be replaced after they replace the mobo.....and I certainly can't imagine anything being expensive. So you should be good. (You might also just want to try and fix it yourself if you can find a replacement board.....depending on costs).

I got the power jack replaced on my laptop for £50, if its not charging its likely that.
You could always put a bid for it on ebay with not working as the condition and see how much it gets?

Whether it's worth it or not is something you'd have to decide, but spending $1200 to buy a lesser gaming laptop to replace yours doesn't make sense to me. I'd say either fix yours or get a non-gaming laptop that you will continue to use after you build your desktop.
P.s. 960m is about 30% slower than a 780m (roughly).
P.p.s. will this repair place charge you even if it doesn't work?

The 780M is considerably more powerful than a 960M. Trust me, I know this. My main machine is a laptop with a 960M and they aren't worth $1200 right now.
If you wanted to get a machine that would worth your time, then go for a Clevo-based laptop with a 1060, like this: http://www.hidevolution.com/evoc-p650rp6-15-6-custom-built-gaming-laptop-w-nvidia-gtx-1060-w-g-sync.html

@nofxthepirate http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015PYYDMQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 This is the price of a 960M laptop for comparison.
However if you can spend $450 and get that Asus up and running, I'd do it, sure! The 780M is still considerably faster than a 960M dreams of being.

Yes this should be fine. Make sure you have backups, but i have done this many times with no issues.
