Hey, my motherboard (Asus m5a88-m) fried today after reseating the ram.

My question has become if I should take this as an opportunity to upgrade the PC, or just replace it.

Here are my specs:
AMD FX 6200
Stock Cooling
Asus M5a88-m (dead)
Corsair tx-650 power supply
1tb hitachi hdd
cooler master haf 912 case
asus 24x dvd burner
2x4 gb corsair ram

Thanks.

How certain are you of the mobo's demise? Have you tried resetting the CMOS clock? I'd look to replace the board if it is actually dead.
