Thanks for all the advice! I ended up deciding against restoring the system db's. There's too much complexity in the security and the jobs to chance bringing it down and having to start over. Thanks again though.
As long as the computer has the same name and the same user account is used to run the sql server services it shouldn't be an issue to restore the system databases, just make sure the collation is correct too when you reinstall the instance
