Would you make any changes to this for a 1440p display apart from the graphics card? What 1440p graphics card would you recommend for a similar budget/up to £1500?

I'd bump up the power supply, speed the memory up to 6000MHz (it's just become available) and get the 6750 XT. In an ideal world I'd also go for the 7700 rather than the 7600, but that takes you over £1500. I'd also be inclined towards the Fractal Focus 2 case.
