IMO, Monitors since they will ultimately display the image. The HDMI and Displayport cables should match the specifications of the ports. It should include a single 6ft cable per port.

For example, if the monitor uses HDMI 2.1b ports, it should include an HDMI 2.1b cable.

  • Older GPU
    If an older GPU has HDMI 2.0 outputs, the 2.1b cable will still work, but will only work as run at the GPU's 2.0 bandwidth.

  • Newer GPU
    If later in the future you upgrade to a GPU that has a theoretical HDMI 3.0 port, then it should still output to the monitor, but only at HDMI 2.1b speeds. That monitor will never work at HDMI 3.0 speeds, but it should be able to fully reach its own HDMI 2.1b specs.
