To rebuild or not to rebuild that is the question

Thats true if I rebuilt it I would know that everything was new and in good condition. My main thing is cost. I am startin a new job and I'll have a lot more money available to me I just don't want to dump a lot of money in this car if all I'm gonna be doin is fixing it. This is my first supra and I've always wanted one but now I'm starting to second guess that dream. Does anyone know how much to rebuild? Like a full rebuild new piston, rod bearings, valves, cams. Cause if I go that way Im gonna go all out. I just cant help but think that a 1jzgte with 5speed tranny, engine, igniter, ecu, and harness comes to about 2200. Buying new rods alone is gonna set me back 600+ let alone 700+ for pistons and then I might not be able to reuse my crank if its a bearing thats bad. Thanks for your advice though and any more will be appreciated.
