If you are going to the shop to pick it up you can check which cables come with the monitor while you are there..........

"Hey there, just a warning for people who're going to buy this if you're expecting to use 144hz you'll need to buy a dual link dvi cable to go with it because they send it with a single link dvi. Otherwise though, the colour depth of the monitor and general bang for buck is great."

that's one of the reviews, i was just wondering if the dual-link dvi cable i linked was suitable.
 
Any dual link DVI cable will work, that one you've linked will be fine provided the length is enough to reach between PC and monitor at your desk.

If you've already got a spare DVI cable, you can check if it's dual link or not by seeing how many pins it has. A single link has two blocks of 9 pins with a gap between the blocks, a dual link cable has another 9 pin block occupying this gap. Pictures of the different connectors are here if it helps: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface
