I want to use a 144 Hertz monitor for my gaming pc and my GPU is a R9 290 with custom cooler from sapphire. Now I want to now if HDMI the a nice solution and with which angle I should connect the HDMI with the monitor.
 
Solution
Correct me if I'm wrong because I understand that Dislpayport is capable of supporting 144Hz, but it should pass audio through as well. All my DP cables support audio and video. If you do not have a Dislplayport connection on your monitor, (The ASUS does). Or as an alternative connect to your DVI and plug your speakers/headphones to your soundcard/on board audio on your PC. (DVI will not transmit audio.) (HDMI will not support 144Hz.) (DisplayPort supports 144Hz and audio :) )

Yes and it's a 144 hertz monitor while I read in articles that you can't use a HDMI for the full 144 hetrz.
So what should I take instead. Cause I want audio over my monitor for now but I also want to be able to use all Hertz

Yes and for cable management near the screen. What would you advice then?

Can you rephrase the question, not sure too sure what you mean by "cable management near the screen?"

I mean. Do I need to get angeled peaces to connect the DisplayPort(/ HDMI)?
Because I heard that bending the cable is bet for the cable itself.
