Something from monoprice.

So long as there's a complete connection end-to-end, the cable doesn't really matter, unless you're running an excessively long length.

Just use the cable that comes with the monitor.

If it's HDMI: good, the monitor has a port that can take advantage of the correct HDMI. Just double check your videocard does too.

If it's Displayport: same applies here.

Your graphics card will need to support HDMI 2.1 to get 1080p 240hz. 1.4 and 2.0b only support up to 1080p 120hz to my knowledge. You'll need to use DVI or DP.

Make sure to quote me or use @PorkishPig to notify me that you replied!

Indeed, and the screen only has HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2 ports.

 

HDMI 1.4 can't support 1080@240Hz.

You'll have to use a displayport cable to have 1080@240Hz.
