Athlon/Duron: CPU is inexpensive, but motherboard is expensive.
Pentium/Celeron: CPU is expensive, but motherboard is inexpensive.
Since the performance and price between the two different types are relatively (give or take) the same, I would focus on what features I would like to have in the motherboard since the motherboard will determine what you can or cannot do in the future. Find a great motherboard, find the CPU that goes with it.
