DisplayPort is alwasy better, but at 1080p, it really makes no difference. I still would recommend DP.

My Current Build:

CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K @ 4.5 GHz MOBO: ASUS Z97M mATX RAM: Samsung 8GB (2 x 4 GB) @ 1600 MHz Storage #1: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD Storage #2: Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120 GB SSD GPU: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X WINDFORCE Case: Cooler Master N200 PSU: EVGA 80+ Bronze 600B 600W Monitor: AOC 2367 23" IPS Display 

Future Upgrades
RAM: Samsung 8GB (2 x 4 GB) @ 1600 MHz (for a total of 16 GB) Storage #3: Sansung 850 Pro Series 256 GB SSD GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 970 Twin Frozer V Case: Corsair 350D Window mATX PSU: Cooler Master VSM 80+ Gold  650W

I would go with DisplayPort, it can successfully output 1080p at 144hz like your monitor is capable of. AFAIK HDMI 1.2 can only output 1080p at 60hz.

All the parts are here, just need to get customized cords to connect the motherboard to the front panel.

Use DisplayPort. You can run 144Hz on it and get sound no problem. HDMI might have issues running 144Hz. There's really no reason not to use DisplayPort if you have the option. It's superior to HDMI in every way.

Doesn't hdmi only go to 60hz? I'm sure you will want display port with that monitor for 144hz

HDMI can go up to at least 1080p 120Hz. I've done it personally.

didn't know that, still DP would be best for the monitor he has. I use DP to.
