Any mDP to HDMI adapter should work.
Personally, I prefer specific cables with the right plugs on both ends rather than using an adapter to convert a regular cable at one end.

I got mine last week. It does come with a display port cable, although the GTX690 uses mini display port, you will need a mini display port cable to display port. I recommend this one http://amzn.com/B002XVYZ82 I have 2 gtx Titans hooked to mine. Look on tftcentral for the "optimized" monitor settings. Something like -Racing mode, 26 Brightness, then the RGB settings. Monitor is in freaking credible. Also, just to give you a heads up, the light for gsync will stay red (meaning enabled) even at the desktop. This is a confirmed bug nvidia is working on so don't spend the hours I did to troubleshoot. lol also, when gsync is turned on, it also turns vsync on in the nvidia control panel. This is normal. Vsync kicks on after 144 fps and gsync handles everything up to 144fps. All this is normal and fine. Disable vsync in game though. I'll post a video in a second for you of the clarity O.O
Yeah. I had to get this thing instead.
I have a 2014 MBP, and used that cable, it worked perfectly at 60 hz:

I should get 144hz then. Thanks for the help man you just saved me like £50 :D
I use a mini displayport to display port cable for my vive without issue. The cable i use is this one.

A Displayport to Mini Displayport cable should cost much less than that.
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82/
According to this spec sheet, you can run the monitor over HDMI at 30Hz. This is likely due to the fact that the port is only HDMI 1.4 and not HDMI 2.0 (which is necessary to run the monitor at 60Hz).
That said, your best bet is to get an mini-DP to DisplayPort adapter cable (like this one). Thunderbolt cables are more pricey and don't provide any benefit unless your monitor supports Thunderbolt (which may allow you to use the display as a dock) / Thunderbolt pass-through to another TB device.

Skylake i3 is better.
DDR4 RAM is faster.
This has a 240GB solid state, which should hold your OS and several of your favorite games. I use Win10 and a 120GB SSD, I can have about 4 games on my PC at once. I assume you'll still be using your mac for media, so this is a pretty good choice.
I like 750Ti's better than r7 265s, but the choice is yours at the same price. Good luck finding benchmarks to compare the two.
Stuff you're gonna need:
Mini displayport to displayport cable: $7.99 (hey, that's not so bad)
"Switcher" able to handle a digital displayport signal: $75.99
Honestly with your budget, why are you trying to spend $76 when you could unplug and replug 3 cables for free?
Assuming the GPU supports DP v1.2 yes.
https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82
The above cable would work flawlessly for you (again assuming your GPU is v1.2 and not v1.1a)
v1.2 supports "...a single display, this enables up to 3840 x 2400 resolution at 60Hz" per the VESA standard.
No HDMI adapter will make this work. No matter what the vendor says, HDMI can't output 4k @ 60hz. Active, passive and even gold plated with leprechauns just won't help.
Any time!
Here's the Amazon link in case you missed it:

I remember that I tried Best Buy first and they didn't have it, but maybe you can get one locally where you are.
I use this without issue
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82
Don't worry, I bought one, it works just fine. :)

Thanks a lot for your help. The paste thing is concerning me about building, are you saying that my intel i7 will have thermal paste already attached and if not my cpu cooler will?
I am buying an optical drive so that I can buy old pc games and play them. I realise they are now becoming obsolete.
As it is my first build I do not think I will overclock. I have changed the mobo to a z170.
By display port I mean the newer version of the DVI or HDMI that is needed for 1440p above 60fps. I was informed it was the best way to display 1440p. This is it here https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002XVYZ82/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE will this work do you know?
Thanks very much for your help.
Im guessing that 2 mini DisplayPort connectors would be the better option? In which case I would want 2 of these?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002XVYZ82?keywords=mini%20displayport%20to%20displayport&qid=1448988830&ref_=sr_1_3&sr=8-3
Ok, thanks. Will any miniDisplayPort to DisplayPort cable work? Like this one (first result on google).
The 2 cables you will need:
[Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter] (http://www.apple.com/shop/product/MMEL2AM/A/thunderbolt-3-usb-c-to-thunderbolt-2-adapter?fnode=8b&fs=f%3Dadapter%26fh%3D4595%252B45b0)
[Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort 1.2 Adapter Cable M/M]
(https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-6-Feet-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1356381772&sr=1-1&keywords=StarTech+6-Feet+Mini+DisplayPort+to+DisplayPort+Adapter+Cable+-+M%2FM+%28MDP2DPMM6%29)
Usually you would only have the 2nd cable, but since you have Thunderport 3 instead of 2, you will need adapters to connect to be able to use that cable. There is no reason for it not to work, maybe the reviewer had other issues which didn't make the conversion work.
If U R looking for 4K, then try this cable-
https://www.amazon.com/Mini-DisplayPort-1-2-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82
Not really... i believe I'm using one of these
I tried a BenQ Xl2720Z at a local NCIX store with this cable on my 2015 MacBook Pro with AMD graphics. Cable is not DP certified although I had no flickering or any connection problems testing the monitor at the store and 144hz was working fine. I just ordered that display last night, am I in trouble?
Keep the dvi-d for the 1440p and get a
mini displayport to displayport cable for the 1080p.
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1449259929&sr=1-5&keywords=mini+dp+to+dp&refinements=p_85%3A2470955011
Depending on the monitor then in all likelihood; sure, If it's one of those Thunderbolt models you might be able to do it as long as your gaming rig either has a thunderbolt port on the i/o (unlikely) or you can pick up a Thunderbolt expansion card (basically like one of those USB Brackets) for not ridiculous sums on amazon.
IIRC the majority of Apple's displays are just mini display port so you should be able to use just either an adapter or go one better and get a mini to full cable like these).
I feel you on this one bro, gotta hand it to Apple, those displays are simply beautiful. Also Yes, links are amazon uk, #ukmasterrace.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82
nonon, dvi adapters are weird. I have a laptop that I run 144hz on atm. I use a mini displayport to displayport adapter. I'll try and find one for you 1sec.
EDIT: this one should do the trick http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82
would this be the right one?

DisplayPort and thunderbolt share the same connector, unless it's using the full-sized display port on the monitor. You shouldn't need an adapter, just a cord with the full size displayport on one end and a Mini DisplayPort on the other. Your hdmi connector may only support 4K at 30, as 60+ is a newer feature of recent hdmi revisions. DisplayPort will though, and the Mac is certainly capable of it!
Edit: this sort of cord might be what you want, if the DisplayPort on the monitor is full-sized: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B002XVYZ82/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_UUmwybVEM6VFC

Hey fellas, I need a second opinion on the mini DisplayPort I'm going to buy. I live in Germany and sadly there aren't many choices so if you're going to make a suggestion, you're welcome but it may not be possible to obtain here.
Sure thing.
The left monitor is a Dell UltraSharp U2713HM 27 inch.
The right monitor is a BenQ GW2765HT LED IPS 27
These two are conected to the iMac via Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cables.
The iMac (and also Macbook Pros, I think) supports up to two external displays over thunderbolt. I believe it could handle up to two 4k displays on top of its 5k screen.
To get the extra two monitors, I'm using two of these Startech USB to DVI adapters (they use the DisplayLink Mac drivers). If you want to go down this route, make sure you do a little googling around first. They work really well - but make sure you:
I've not had any big issues running the displays on Windows - it tends to handle it all pretty well. Windows always has been great at that. I for a little while had Windows 8 crash on me whenever all two of the external thunderbolt monitors were connected to it because of the AMD drivers being buggy, but that seems to be fine now.
Hope that helps!
Here's the Amazon link. You'll also need a miniDP to DP cable, like this one (cheapest I could find). I couldn't find a DP version on the manufacturer's website, but according to this overclock.net thread, you should get the full 144hz. Good luck!
US Amazon, is this the same cable?
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417478505&sr=8-1&keywords=StarTech.com+Mini+DisplayPort+to+DisplayPort+Adapter+Cable
OK, all becoming clearer now. Very much appreciated.
So, I have the link you gave me, which I now know "leads" to the cable I need. (pun intended)
And then there's this, which is below 10 GBP. (around 10 USD) However, based on your advice, I now believe that this isn't what I need.

Thanks again.
So yea... I bought the 16 Pro. Mostly unaware of its issues.
Took a while, but once I got it to work I couldn't be happier.
Its a weird thing to say since so much people has been shaming this model. And to be honest it has a lot of issues, specially with product shipment.
For all the issues you stated, I had them and I managed to work it out. Just be sure to buy this baby: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002XVYZ82/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(or any mini DP to DP that some people have been testind and managed to make it work. I used this one and it was fine for me.)
If you use the wacom link + miniDP to DP cable = should work perfectly in 4k.
I am using a GTX 980 and it works in 4k without a problem.
If your 970 supports 4k then it wouldn't be a problem. I would not recommend it for you if you have an AMD card since I had errors trying the 4k in my RX480 card.
The hardware is great, the problem is really just the software. Wacom's drivers still suck and you will need something like Lazy Nezumi's stabilizer to help with the infamous wavy lines.
And, to be honest. Even tho it is full of problems, I would still buy it again. Cuz it is a gorgeous display, and even tho I come from Intuos Pro, I felt a lot of difference from Pro Pen 1 to the newest Pro pen 2 model.
Still... it is your call :)
I have a GTX980, have DVI-I plugged to a screen, HDMI plugged to a screen, DisplayPort plugged to my VIVE using a DP to mini-DP on my VIVE.
The wire I use for my VIVE is a Startech one, 6ft. (Was much cheaper than currently when I bought it tho.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B002XVYZ82
I currently run EVERY screens in dual screen and I have no issue using my VIVE while doing it.
It doesn't draw too much power. I don't see how using HDMI and display port at the same time would cause issue like someone suggested. I have a 1200Watt PSU tho but I don't think the wattage have much of an effect. +5V on HDMI and around 3.3V 500mA on displayport.
There was an issue with some non-compliant cable with the 20th pin sending power back to your GPU. I dunno if mine is compliant but never had any issue since I got it with my VIVE ordered the same day it released.
Just try restarting your VIVE via SteamVR. I think I had the same issue and a small reboot of the VIVE was fine.
Salut les aviateurs
Je possède cet écranet ce macbook pro , soit un écran avec connectique DisplayPort et un macbook avec connectique thunderbolt 2. J'aimerais connecter les deux, de quel câble ai-je besoin ? Est-ce qu'un displayport <-> mini displayport de ce type est OK ? J'ai peur de la compatibilité mini-displayport / thunderbolt 2, j'y comprends pas grand-chose.
Merci!
Easiest way to do it would be to look for a monitor with both displayport (for the MB) and HDMI (for the PS4). Macbook air can use any displayport monitor, you'll just need a mini-displayport/thunderbolt <-> full size displayport cable. Like this: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82
I wouldn't bother with the Apple monitor, the lack of HDMI input will be a pain in the neck trying to connect the PS4 to it. It's really only good if you're using it with a Macbook and nothing else.
I'm using this cable -

I have no experience with it but one of the reviews on this cable Says "perfect for 165 hz monitor at 1440p".
It looks like you just want to make sure it's at least version 1.2 of displayport.
Yeah, the thunderbolt port is backward compatible with Mini DisplayPort. I think I'll pick up one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-6-Feet-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1406752437&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=startech+displayport
I purchased four DisplayPort Mini to DisplayPort cables from amazon.
Whilst being officially supported, it is in no way a stable platform at current. However, a regular minidisplayport cable will allow 4k at 60Hz under Windows. Therefore, I would attempt this with the purchase of a mini displayport to regular displayport cable before trying anything else.
As for a thunderbolt - dp1.2 kit, I've never heard of one and a fairly thorough search yields no useful results right now.
Sorry I can't be of much more help.
Yeah i've got a EVGA gtx 970 and use https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B002XVYZ82/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 that minidp to dp cable, works fine for me.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82
Is what you need to plug it into a standard Windows PC with only DisplayPort/HDMI/DVI connections.
I was only able to get the vive to work with HDMI. I was using [this cable] (http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable/dp/B002XVYZ82)
