When switching from AMD to Intel, what do I have to watch out for?

I want to swap out my M4A87TD-EVO mobo and Phenon II X4 955, haven't decided what I'm swapping to yet though. Any suggestions or favorites at the moment?

Back to the first question, do I have to worry about my GTX 660ti being compatible with the swap?

Thanks :)

no worries about the gpu, most recommended intel is an i5 either the 4670k or 3570k, with a z77/z87 boards that fits ur needs. If ur not looking to OC almost every Id look into the xeon e3-1230v2/v3, which is basically an i7 for around $240 and is lga 1155/1150

*the xeon i mentioned is an i7 without the igpu, more pci-e lanes, ecc capabilities, is not an overclocking cpu but is basically in the simplist terms an i7

Thanks for the response. Are there any recommended boards closer to the 100$ mark that can be used with the Xeon E3? I was aiming at closer to a 300$ switch.
