Hello everyone. I am hoping to soon update my processor for my my computer from AMD to Intel. I have only build my computer and I am not that good at determining compatibility, so I need your help.

Here is the following list of my computer parts NOW:
- Cooler Master N200 Micro-ATX Case
- AMD FX-6300 AM3+ CPU
- Corsair Vengeance D3 2x4GB RAM
- Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 AM3+ Micro ATX Motherboard
- Seagate 1TB Barracuda Hard-drive
- Thermaltake TR2 500W PSU
- Asus Radeon R7 370 STRIX 2GB GPU
- Microsoft Windows 10 Home OS

Here is the following list of new computer parts I am looking at for LATER:
- Intel Core i5-8400 (To replace my current CPU)
- MSI - Z370M GAMING PRO AC Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (To replace my current motherboard)
- Corsair - Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory (To replace my current RAM)

Would the components that I'm looking for for later to replace my current ones be compatible with the other current ones I have now? So If I put in the motherboard and Intel processor I'm looking at now would my PC function how it did before (With increased performance of course!). Thanks! If I am missing any information let me know.
