You will not damage the CPU at all when swapping it over, the pins are actually on the motherboard and not the CPU, so if anything were to go wrong (which is highly unlikely) you would only damage the old motherboard. 770 will fit no issues as it uses a PCI-E Slot. Keep in mind though not all ITX boards have PCI-E slots so do your research. Something like this will work fine!
