I have a website client that has their domain with GoDaddy, website with Squarespace, and is using Google Apps for their domain's email.

We are building a new WordPress based website and will launch that soon on a recently purchased hosting plan (standard cPanel based service) while keeping Google Apps for email.

I believe that in their GoDaddy DNS editing area, we just need to do the following steps, could someone with knowledge of this confirm?

change A record with the heading of Host and value of @ to the IP of the new hosting account?
also change the nameservers to the values of the new host?
all the MX records stay the same and the CName records stay the same?

Thank you very much for the help. I'll attach a screenshot of the GoDaddy DNS editing area for reference, with some info crossed out.

You should only need to change the single A record.

Changing your NS records mean that your DNS would be hosted by your webhost as well. In that case you would have to re-create all of these records in their system.
