First, welcome to the forums.

Second, why pick a Celeron 2.6 when an Duron 1600 will wipe the floor with it, let alone a Barton 2500 for $80 ??????

As far as temps, thats not very hot as far as CPU's go, but most people on these forums don;t buy Celerons for the reason above, so you may not get too many good replies.

45°C should be just fine. Thermal throttling doesn't kick in until it reaches about 67°C, if it's like the Pentium4 that it's derived from.

Hey, he already bought it, leave him alone.

Also, 45 is no bad.
