Gas Water Tank on the fritz. . . help!!!

Hey ya'll. Woke up today with no hot water. . . dirty! Messed with the hot water tank a little (10 year old Rheem 40 gallon unit) and the pilot lights then when switching the control to warm/hot the flames die after a couple seconds. I replaced the thermocouple and that didn't help. I'm being told it's probably the control valve?

 

Should I try to tackle this valve replacement in hopes that's what it is..or would it be better to replace the unit since it's 10 years old?

 

Any heating/cooling guys on here that do side work?

 

Any advice/help/suggestions appreciated! Need to get this fixed asap!

 

Thanks :)
