So im currently waiting on a 144HZ monitor to arrive soon, and a good friend of mine has just asked me, so i have a dvi cable for it, as hdmi cannot handle 144hz it is capped at 60? he said i could also use a display port, the monitor has 2 hdmi and 1 display port so would hdmi work, or would i have to buy a display port lead?

No, you need a display port cable.

If i plugged a HDMI into my 1440p 144hz Gysnc screen i would lose Gsync and it would cap to 60hz due to the data transfer limit.
