Hey. so my monitor is : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KO4518I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it only supports DVI-D ports to go to 144hz. My PC does not have a dvi-d port though, anyone know what i should do?

HDMI 1.3 and above supports 144Hz at 1080p and that monitor supports HDMI.

So i can use a DisplayPort to Dual‑Link DVI active adapter? Also, can i get a link on one that supports 144hz? Also, I heard the adapter in section 0 for 144hz was bad.

It said it only supports DVI-D

Yes but they are like $100... it would be a much better idea to return the monitor and get a different one.

If you really want an adapter, there are links already in the guide I posted, if you keep reading further down that section.

Please don't go around suggesting that any 1080p 144 Hz monitor with HDMI 1.3 or above will support 144 Hz over HDMI, as that is not true. I would suggest reading Section 5.1 of the guide I posted.

^^I miss-read his post. And yes, it's up to the monitor to determine what it supports outside of official standard display cabling specs. But yeah active DP -> DVI-D adapters are $100+ .....

Excellent work on that guide too. I had never seen it. It should be stickied.
