Overheated. Water Pump? 850 1993

I was driving home today at lunch and when I was stopped at a stop light I noticed steam coming out from under the hood and my temp gauge was pegged. I was almost home so I just cranked my heat and cruised home. When I got there I popped the hood to see that my overflo tank was boiling over. My radiator fan continued to run after shutting off the car so I know that is working. Did my water pump go out? Could it possibly only be the thermostat that went? If it is the water pump, is that an easy job to do myself or should I have it towed into the shop? Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks
