Do I really need a 4k HDMI cable to benefit my PS4 pro? What if I use the standard cable included in the ps4 pro? Will there be a difference? null

Go for the 4k cable. It does make a different with picture quality. I tried using my old standard HDMI cable for my PS4 when I upgraded to a 4K TV and it wasn't the same. Everything is clearer, brighter and smoother with a 4K cable. This one is a very reasonable price and I have it on my blu-player. (The 4K cable I have for my PS4 now cost in excess of $280 and is phenomenal.)

Absolutely not. The only reason I bought a monster cable brand cable is because I worked there and the discount was so big it really didn't hurt my wallet. It's a tricky way to get your money if you let them, but I used that cable and a "generic" one and saw absolutely no difference whatsoever. If by chance there was any kind of difference in picture quality, it was not visible enough to waste hundreds of dollars on by no means. Best Buy does not make money off of televisions, they make it on accessories, "extended warranties", etc. I've got 20 years in consumer electronics. Circuit City, Best Buy, and local shops.

Any HDMI cable that comes with the system will be good. If you spend over $5 you most likely have over paid. if your rockin a 70+ inch tv it might be a good investment to upgrade then
