Guys I need to know which HDMI cable would be the best to connect my monitor to the graphics card (RX 580 8GB). I'm going to be gaming at 1080p 75Hz so can anyone post a link to a good HDMI cable that I can buy (please don't post Amazon or ebay, it would be helpful if it were Tesco, PC World or Maplin or something like that). There's loads of HDMI cables in the websites that I've checked, I'm confused as to which one I should buy to get the best gaming performance and picture quality.

The one I posted was a simple example but the description was vague on what it supports so here is one that will definitely work for you.

This HDMI cable fully supports 1080p+ resolutions at up to 120Hz refresh rate, with life-like color. To accommodate the demands of future high definition devices, such as increased resolutions and higher frame rates, our HDMI cables can support bandwidth up to 340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) and display resolutions of up to 1440p. The HDMM3M 3-meter/9.8ft HDMI cable is backed by StarTech.com's Lifetime Warranty.

Very short distance is fine, like 1m.

Those look good, but will HDMI 2.0 work with a monitor that only has HDMI 1.4 input?

One more thing, will it be limited to 60FPS at 1080p on these cables? Or can it do higher?

Thank you so much! Do you think it would be better to use the native DVI-D port on the RX 580 and use a HDMI to DVI Cable?

There's no discernible difference in quality between HDMI and DVI, as both are digital cables. At the maximum 24-pin configuration, DVI supports HD video at a resolution of 1920x1200, as does HDMI. The only difference is that unlike HDMI, DVI cables don't all support HDCP copy protection as standard
