Beware wireless even at 2.4GHz does not equate to WiFi or any other
standard. Most keyboards etc are not standards based and need propriatry
drivers that are unlikely to be linux friendly.
I'd have thought the most useful first peripheral would be a powered
USB hub, with it's own mains power brick. Then you can use that to
power the Pi and use any old wired keyboard and mouse that you have
to hand.
HDMI to SVGA is tricky as you are going from digital to analog domains
requiring an active convertor. DVI-D or DVI-I (but not DVI-A) would be
a lot easier, that's just a simple wiring conversion.
