What you intend to do with the pc once built is usually the question to
consider before considering components.
A Celeron is a lower end version of the Intel line. The Pentium is a step up
and covers a lot of ground.
You might want to also consider AMD chips. They have great performance
(regularly best Intel in assorted tests), and are priced more competitively.

Subject: [PCBUILD] CPU's
I am planning to build a computer for the first time. The trick part is
choosing a motherboard and a processor. I have noticed that pentium
processors cost much more than other processors. What would be the
difference in performance say between a celeron 800MHz and a pentium
with similar specification? Whats the criteria for selecting a
motherboard?
