Im planning to buy a new 27" monitor been looking at the MSI MPG 275CQRXF) within the next 7-10 days. Both the monitor and my 7900XTX have a usb-c port that enables DP-alt mode & the plan is to connect the gpu to the monitor using a usb-c dp-alt mode cable using one of these 3 options:

Option 1: https://www.amazon.com/Silkland-Monitor-Display-Transfer-Compatible/dp/B0D44CPB5S?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1
Option 2: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096YLRSFX/?coliid=I1GGMUVW1B0FZR&colid=2016UMF018ULW&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Option 3: can any Thunderbolt 3 cable work? 

Among the three, which would be best?

Remember, should it be necessary to divide by zero, then it shall not exist, for his desserts cabinet contains 69 different types . . .  of cheesecakes and pies
Measure twice, CUT ONCE!  <_<

Why not just use the standard DP cable? What is the USB-C going to get you?

unless the default cable that it comes with is at least 6.6ft/3m, nope
