um i didnt read the other posts but don't forget ram and be careful about the type of mother board because it will determine how easy it is to upgrade and don't use the built in video card get a seperate one also ati and nvidia you can put two video cards in the one computer. im pretty sure Celeron dual core is the fastest cpu but athlon also offers dual core(sort of like 2 cpus in one) and i don't realy like Celeron overall.
the only dual core processors are Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme (the X6800 only), Pentium D, Athlon FX, Athlon X2, and Turion X2. Sempron and Celeron D are not and probally will never be dual core!
