Hello! I just finished my build for a gaming PC but I was slightly confused on where my monitor should be plugged in. I looked into it a little bit but I haven't found an answer.

I have a GTX 660 (Got a great deal on it) and then a ASRock Z87-Extreme3 (It's okay. Wish I could have got that MSI instead but they didn't have it in the store and wouldn't order for me and value the sales. It was dumb)

So, if I am trying to get the most performance while playing games should I plug the HDMI cable into the GPU or the MOBO?

to your graphic card of course and not to the mobo
The one in the mobo will be for the iGPU

Into the GPU. Plugging it into the motherboard would mean using the Intel 4600 graphics, whereas plugging it into the GPU allows you to use the graphics from the GTX 660. Happy gaming. :)
