If you're less than 12 months out of warranty, Dell will replace the board. If you have to replace it at your expense, buy the Intel version - not another nVidia. You'll need a new heatsink for the swap as well.
www.parts-people.com is one good source of parts.

That will depend on where you buy - I would think not, since boards are essentially unrepairable once the video chip fails, so they're worthless.

when i checked Dell website for motherboard i found its price as 420 $ where as in the website you suggested it is 210 $ is there any difference between them because the price difference is nearly double of it .

Other than possibly a warranty (will range from zero on EBay to 90 days with Dell), probably not.
