1.3 should do but it wouldn't hurt to get the latest and greatest.

An HDMI cablebia an HDMI cable , there is no such thing as a 1.2/1.2/1.4/2.0 cable - they are all the same .
Anything advertised as a 2.0 cable is just a marketing ploy to demand more money!!

no mate there really is not.
HDMI 2.0 as a specification relates to the max bandwidth input/ouput ports on your devices not the cable itself.
HDMI is itself a standard,there is no different in pinout or in cable internal structure.
Dont confuse a specification with the actual quality of the cable itself.
There are plenty of crappily manufactured hdmi cables just given a 2.0 rating to push more sales.
at 1080p upto 100htz with a cable length of 1.2m or less any half decent quality hdmi cable irregardless of specification will perform the same as a branded cable costing upto 10x as much.

Once past a 5m cable length or runnig at 4k 60htz its sensible to buy a more expensive quality cable if its proven to give better results.

A cheapish amazon basics cable is absolutely fine for what youre running,theyre qood quality & inexpensive.
