I'm currently using a monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440 and a refresh rate of 180Hz. The HDMI cable that came with it only supports up to 144Hz, and I'm unsure about which HDMI cable I should purchase to fully utilize my monitor's capabilities. Can anyone clarify this for me?

You'll want to get an HDMI 2.1 rated cable. This version supports higher refresh rates and resolutions, like your monitor's 180Hz at 1440p. Just make sure that your GPU and monitor also support HDMI 2.1 to reap the benefits!
So if I'm seeing something like 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz on the packaging, does that mean I can also get 1440p at 180Hz?
