DisplayPort is the most ideal. I would save the HDMI ports for when I want to plug a console in for some reason.

 

If you plan on using FreeSync, chances are you will need to use DP anyways.

 

Addendum: Some monitors have FreeSync over HDMI. Do not buy these if you use Nvidia graphics, as Nvidia does not support G-Sync over HDMI. They will however work perfectly with AMD graphics.

Hello, I have had a dell S3220DGF monitor connected to my laptop for a couple months however I have finally finished up my first pc build. Which of the available options (2 x HDMI (ver 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 or 1 x DisplayPort 1.4) would be optimal if I am to game at 144hz 1440p? If it matters
