New Here, in need of suggestions!

First of all, Hello! Im so glad i found this site its the perfect thing for someone in my position.  After playing guitar for 7 years i decided to put it down and pick up a keyboard and see what i can do.  Long story short i fell in love with classical music and purchased an 88 key weighted hammer action digital piano.  Ive been playing for around 4-5 months now and have mastered all white key major and minor scales (Harmonic, melodic, and pure).  Please keep in mind i use the term mastered only to give myself confidence , ive hardly MASTERED anything about the piano.  However i have been learning a few Mozart pieces, such as K545 Sonata in cMajor first mvt.  Moonlight sonata first mvt,  about 45 seconds of debussys 1st arbasque.  I have also trained myself how to read music along the way.  Im hardly at the point of sight reading intermediate pieces but i can sight read elementary level pieces and crawl through even the most advanced piece given enough time to work out the fingering.  What i want to ask you all is:  Does anyone have any recommendations for pieces at my level to train not only sight reading, but also just to practice alltogether.  I feel like the pieces i want to play so bad are all very far out of my league.  Even though i practice 3 hours a day , ill spend that 3 hours learning the first 15 seconds of pathetique sonata by beethoven and memorize it, but thats still only 15 seconds of music when i could be learning full pieces that are actually at my level.  If i had to give myself a grade equivalent i would choose a grade 3 piano student who slacked a bit while studying theory up untill now.  So if anyone has any good intermediate ~grade 3 piano piece suggestions that you think will be good for me to practice,  please let me know and ill surely practice them and keep you posted on my progress.  Thank you!

I suggest that you learn pieces that do not take you long to learn entirely. The more pieces you get under your belt the easier it will be to learn pieces in the future. You should feel free to learn pieces that are too advanced for you but do not labor on them for too long it will slow you down. Bach is good, WTC Prelude Bk1 no1 everyone does pretty much, his Inventions, I know one of my grade 3 students is doing BWV 999 Lute prelude, you can just rattle off a huge list, go have a look at Bach you can't go wrong, excellent for your sight reading, fingering technique, learning about musical expression (as Bach did not write exact tempo markings or dynamics we need to make decisions on that) and so on.

3 hours a day is a great disciplined approach, I would suggest you also get yourself a good teacher, a student who works like you do is a teachers dream and you will progress much faster with good guidance.

Hi!

lostinidlewonder is absolutely right. It's so nice to read you fell in love with classical music! Get a good teacher and you wont regret it. You will progress so much faster (i almost tend to say that it's the only way to really progress). It's not only about finding pieces of the right level but on how to play them. Technique is nothing you can learn on your own. There's too much you can do wrong.
May i ask what kind of guitar you played? Classical? Rock? Jazz? Anything else? I'm just curious 

I could give you lots of repertoire suggestions but i won't UNTIL you got a teacher 

But seriously, that's the best thing you could do with all the time and enthusiasm/love you invest.
And then if you combine a good teacher with this forum, you can't do anything wrong 

Welcome here!

Thank you both! I did buy myself a copy of Bach's Well Tempered Clavier.  This book actually seems like a more advanced catalogue of Bach's works.   I have found more appropriate pieces for my level outside of this book, although its almost like a baroque encyclopedia     I also bought Hanon's Virtuoso Pianist book to practice Technique.  I actually have done everything short of getting a teacher from studying fingering marks on sheets (the numbers on the notes that tell u what finger to play it with) , to Taking a course of free online lessons from Mr Furmanczyk on youtube (Very helpful).  Im usually AWESOME at self teaching myself things and finding answers to any questions i have on the internet, but this task may be a bit different.  I think im gonna work on getting myself a teacher like you both said for sure. 
The level ratings on the sheets here are very helpful at catching a piece my level, but far too often i hear a classical song and i cannot find the name of it for the life of me.  With radio music you can just search the lyrics lol.    I have one more question,  are there any black key tonic major or minor scales that are more...."popular" than others?  Ones that i should DEFINETLY work on memorizing?
