| Figure what the monitor ports are. Figure out what the computer will output. Get on amazon and look for those two ports. Be kinda careful. I want to add that hdmi 2.2 is just coming out.
Displayports are the easiest, highest resolution and cheapest to go to. That is what I would buy. HDMI is normally more expensive. For both of these you need to buy the cable that will support the highest resolution but be careful or you will buy to high of resolution.

Older and newer HDMI equipped components can still work together, but their capabilities will be limited to the oldest supported HDMI version. So if you're working with a TV or component that uses HDMI 2.1 and want to take advantage of its features, you'll need to upgrade your other components to 2.1.
Here is a brief rundown of the most recent versions of HDMI leading up to 2.1, and the important features they support.
HDMI 1.4 — this 2009 release introduced ARC capabilities and support for 4K at up to 30Hz.
HDMI 2.0 — this 2013 release introduced the ability to pass 4K resolution video at 60Hz.
HDMI 2.0a — this 2015 update added support for HDR video.
HDMI 2.0b — this 2016 update added support for the HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) HDR format.
HDMI 2.1 — this 2017 update introduced a huge increase in bandwidth capability to support higher video resolutions and refresh rates, including 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz. It also adds eARC capabilities.
TVs and components manufactured before the release of HDMI 1.4 will not support ARC, 4K or HDR. But they do support video resolutions up to Full HD 1080p, which is still widely used.
