If you can make a working rig using the parts you just acquired with that $30 motherboard, I say do it. With hardware that old the only thing you should be concerned about is if it is compatible, and it is. So I say buy it and don't spend another penny on it. Any more money spent on this thing and you're eating into your new rig's budget.
HOWEVER, If you're holding off until Black Friday for deals to build the NEW rig, I would say buy it(new rig) now. In all honesty that $45(including shipping) you're spending on an ancient motherboard will negate most/all savings you'd get from the BF deals, so why bother waiting? I really don't see you saving over $50 in BF deals with the rig we talked about. From my experience the deals are usually focused towards the high end processors and peripherals.
