First PC build have questions about monitors.

[DJZ12]

This is my build- https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Trill.Opz/saved/qqcqsY

Now I want to stick with 1080p however I want it to be 144hz since I know my card can max out everything at 1080p... Now I hear with 144hz monitors you need either dual dvi links or display ports to connect. Which should I get and why? Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BV1XBEI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_FE-uybDJAX6WC

This monitor is free sync which I know is for AMD cards but I'm not sure what that does. Will it affect me because I'm using NVIDIA? Should I get another monitor if it interferes? Anyway it looks like an all around good monitor and it's basically what I'm looking for, for a great price so please answer those questions and feel free to any suggestions or comments! Thanks.

You can use a Freesync monitor just fine with an NVidia graphics card. It will work like a regular monitor.

That's a really nice build by the way. The monitor will suit in well, It's your best option for the price.
