First pc build

Hi.

Im working on putting together a pc and wanted some help with parts.

My budget is 500-600 $us.  Im in Texas.

i will be using it for web browsing, some school work, some photo and video editing but that would be very light.  i will play some games but i dont know what exactly  right now all i have is older games cause that is all ive wanted to by when i dont know if my laptop will run it.  I also want to start trying to learn programming and coding. 

For now it will just be a single 1920x1080 moniter.  i might add a second in the future but by then i could do other upgrades to.

i will need an os but am willing to just get linux for awhile and add windows in the future.

i dont have a ton of room so a matx is preferred but ill change that if there is a better deal on something.  id been looking at the intel pentium g3258.  it seems like a good cpu for the price and i could upgrade in the future with the same motherboard.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

how would a 760 preform against the r9 285?  

also just curious why a pci-e wireless card would be safer?
