1080p 144hz, does cable matter?

For my upcoming 8700k build I got a 1080p 144hz monitor. I don't currently have the 8700k so I can't build it yet, but I do have the monitor and I figured I'd go ahead and use it. My 970 has an HMDI 2.0 and two displayports. Currently I'm using the 2 display ports for my two side monitors. The monitor I'm replacing is the HDMI one (if I recall correctly). Does it matter which port I use for achieving 1080p at 144hz? Also, does the cable itself matter or more so the ports on each end?

I don't think it will matter if you have bought the cables from a reliable source and also bought in the last 3-5 years. 

"May your frame rates be high and your temperatures low"

I misread titles/posts way too often--correct me if I don't.

Ya, I know. I'm upgrading to a 1080ti for the new build. I figured I might as well go ahead and install it so that the few games it does run over 60 can get over 60.

Cable won't matter. Most monitors don't support 144 Hz over HDMI though.

Get a decent cooler for 8700K, it runs hot when overclocked. Like... 92C hot.

Yes it matters.  You cannot just grab whatever you feel like: single link DVI for example cannot support that much bandwidth.

If you are talking only about HDMI though, even that also does matter, you will need HDMI 1.3 or newer on both ends for it to work.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Just to make sure, would this monitor? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009642
 

Or should I just refer to owners manual to double check?

I'm not sure if that's enough. Good luck however.

Unfortunately it does not. Would recommend the ViewSonic XG2401 instead.

I've already bought it and it's in my room. How do you know? I can't find anything that says so. Also, it's not the end of the world, I can just change my ports and have it going at dvi

It's a quite well-known limitation of the monitor, and we have dozens of threads asking why they can't get 144 Hz on that monitor, and it's always because they're using the HDMI port. If you have a DVI port though you can use that.

Gotcha. Yes, my 1080ti has a DVI-D Dual port. My 970 though has DVI-I Dual Link. Will this be an issue?

No, DVI-I is just a DVI+VGA combo port, if you're using it for a DVI connection then it's the same as a DVI-D port.
