New gpu, old monitor, want clarification

[LLLLets_Shadles]

So im in the middle of building a new pc and am going to be getting a GTX 1080 but my monitor only has a display port 1.2 input while the 1080 has dp 1.4 output.

I tried reading the FAQ's but i just want some clarification since this exact situation isn't really touched on (if it is just tell me im stupid/lazy)

My questions are kind of connected:

1) will this cause any sorts of problems (im planing on running 1920x1080@144hz) 

2) does the kind of cable i have matter? ones like the Amazon basics say they are 1.2 compliant while ones like the iVanky say they are 1.4 compliant. should i get a 1.4 compliant for the best future proof, or would the 1.2 input port not be able to handle a 1.4 feature/specification? 

 

A new monitor isn't out of the question its just not a thing i want to invest in since my current one is still pretty new (to me) and works well.

DisplayPort is forwards and backwards compatible.

Cable compliance is only for peace of mind. As far as I know, DP to DP is passive.
