I am looking to get the best display quality I can get and I am curious about HDMI vs Displayport. I will post my new computer build below, looking at my setup, which cable would you prefer with a dual 4k monitor setup? If you prefer a certain cable can you provide me a link to which cable you would prefer for best quality (price isn't a huge factor)?

HDMI 2.0 is limited to 60hz at 4k. I would use display port to avoid that limitation. They are digital, any displayport cable is fine.

Also don't buy the EVGA NEX PSU, get the EVGA 750 G2 or G3 instead, MUCH better quality.
