here's the consideration I have if I was in your shoes.
If money isn't an issue then get a new pc.
If you can use having a 2nd pc in the house then that just adds to the reasoning.
The draw back from getting the new pc is that you would have to transfer files from your old pc to the new one. Very easily done but just a pain.
pros about rebuild. Waste makes haste....
Save a couple of bucks by rebuilding and reusing your old parts.
Cons: if getting new mother board you'll have to wipe out the old hard drive and reinstall. Backing up your data prior to wiping out harddrive maybe a bit cumbersome. Suggestion would be to burn the data on cd unless you have another computer to temporarily transfer the data to.
any questions, feel free to email me.
