Phoenix, without knowing more about your nationality, tax liability/position, aspirations etc etc etc it's difficult to provide anything more than generic information.
There is a plethora of information available online, and I'd suggest you start there! there are companies that provide all manner of financial services including transfers done at a fraction of what a bank does it at.
If you are looking at being spoon fed, forget about it as you aren't looking at what will work for you, merely it's what worked for someone else.
Like I said previously, figure out what it is you want to do, and then go from there.
