Anyone has experience with this cable?

I am trying to do 1440p 144hz-165hz. I can spent $20 for a cable but this this one does the job, I rather get the cheaper one.

A digital cable is a digital cable. Same rules apply to DP cables as HDMI cables. It either totally works or it totally doesn't. So yes, those cables should work just fine. Just make sure you don't pick the 3 foot one unless that is the actual length you need.

it's gold plated, high bitrate, must be good

I'd still look into that diamond coated HDMI though...

I still think the silver wired, unidirectional audiophile grade Ethernet cables is a better investment. http://www.audioquest.com/ethernet/diamond

But I've seen posts where the cables are bad quality (not enough bandwidth), which really becomes apparent for 4k 60hz. 

I think there was one review from a user.

then definitely go diamond coated HDMI, you don't want to end up like that other user, now do you?

Generally speaking, as long as the cable meets DP spec, and is sold from a reputable retailer, then it should be just fine. Also, all of my experience with Newegg's customer service was great and they accepted returns and stuff no problem if it doesn't work.
