You should be able to simply swap out your motherboard and processor. I don't see any reason to change anything else. Hopefully you still have your Intel backplate for your CPU cooler. I am also assuming you are currently running DDR3 ram. Your PSU should be adequate for the graphics card.
As far as a mobo recommendation, are there any specific features you are looking for - do you want to overclock (or is it a possibility for the future) any other considerations?
