thats not true, dual link DVI will do 1080@120/144Hz just fine.

if my simple math is correct that would be 10% more data than 1080@144Hz, might work..

Anyways it seems the monitor comes with whole bunch of cables, at least in the EMEA region (thats Europe, Middle-East and Asia), so you shouldn't need to buy any extra cables.

well the cables arent expensive, like 10-15$ each. You've already spent several hundreds so extra tenner is not gona kill you :p. Just get the DP cable as it is the latest and has the potential for higher bandwidth (also slightly more expensive, but meh)
