i love you, but do you think it will be able to output 120hz??

Yes. If the GPU and Monitor you purchased also supports it.

"DisplayPort 1.2 paves the way for 120Hz 3D displays with resolutions up to 2560x1600"

isnt that the 1.3? apparently 1.2 can only do 4k 60hz

thanks for the effort to help me so much, i really appreciate it. im new ish to pc and dont know too much. you seem like you really know youre stuff though. what do you make of all this? go for a 120hz monitor? im not bothered about 4k 1080p will do and if i do go for a monitor what cablels and adaptors will i need? im just getting lost with it all a bit -_-

Honestly if your GPU has display port and monitor has display port. You shouldn't need any adapters or anything! Just a display port cable, monitor and GPU that has display port.

You want to avoid using adapters as it could lower the performance output or downscale resolutions etc... plus it wont be compatble with gsync or freesync.
