Hi, I was wondering what the best display port cable is to use for gaming?

The one that gets you all the Hz out of your screen.

What I mean by that, is that all Displayport cables are the same. There - technically - is not versioning in the cables; only in the connections (on your GPU/Monitor).

In the past though, I used a 165Hz screen with not the original cable and just couldn't get over 120Hz. With the original cable though, I could.

 

So in that sense, you just need to get the not cheapest cable and you're probably good.
