You really should be using the premium Monster HDMI cable. Make sure you get the one with the platinum connectors. Spend at least $1000 for it.
HDMI cable is HDMI cable so the answer is yes.

Technically some are rated for higher data rates than others, but that's usually only relevant if you're trying to use 3D.gtmtnbiker wrote: HDMI cable is HDMI cable so the answer is yes.
You can use it, and most video cards support HDMI audio as well (it'll show up as a second audio device though, so you may need to toggle that).

Any HDMI cable is fine with decent wires that won't break under the insulation. The expensive ones fall in the same marketing hype as an "HD" antenna to pick up digital over the air broadcast.
Besides the unnecessary expense, there is another disadvantage of the fat cables attached to the HD hanging high on the wall. Multiplied by the multiple connections, the weight has to be murder on the connectors.
