4K HDMI cables?

So I’m purhasing a https://pcpartpicker.com/product/YZn2FT/benq-monitor-gw2765ht
BENQ GW2765HT 27.0" 2560x1440 60 Hz Monitor for editing/Video rendering. In order to get the 4K resolution from my monitor and Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, do I need to pair the two with a 4K HDMI cable or is a normal HDMI cable good to get the resolution I need?

Here is a link that basically explains what's require for different monitor resolutions. I personally would use a displayport cable, not an HDMI cable.

BENQ GW2765HT is 1440p monitor. You can't get 4k resolution on 1440p monitor.
4k = 3840x2160


Anyway - you can use DVI dual link cable, HDMI 1.4 cable or DP 1.2 cable. All those options will handle 1440p resolution.
