Quick question, what cables are EXACTLY shipped with the DK2?
I got my new 970 GTX today and it's only got one DVI port (used by monitor), one what appears to be mini(?)-HDMI (my TV's normal HDMI doesn't fit) - and 3 Displayports.
Does the DK2 come with a DP cable, or a mini HDMI cable, or will I need to buy adapters?
Thanks.

Note: DisplayPort and HDMI are not directly compatible with each other. While video should be fine with the application you're looking for (Only looking to pass video to the Rift) AUDIO will not pass through the DisplayPort-HDMI adapter. Like I said, this issue shouldn't apply to you as I only assume you have headphones or a sound system separately hooked up.
What you have to plug in with DK2 is an HDMI cable (standard-size), and two USB cables. You can download the manual in the downloads section of the developer section. The manual has a full diagram and shows what plugs into what.
But what plugs into the computer are a standard HDMI and two USB connectors.
For cables/adapters, it comes with:
mini-HDMI or DisplayPort will require an adapter. I'd recommend Monoprice.
Thanks for fixing that picture! lmao
HDMI to miniHDMI adapter and a
HDMI to miniDisplayport adapter
I should be fine then, right? (I need the HDMI to miniHDMI anyways for my TV now, but I don't mind unplugging the TV for the Rift if it has to be)

You only need one (depending on which port you want to use). However, that DisplayPort adapter won't work. First, are you sure you have mini DisplayPort and not full sized DisplayPort on your card? Second, you need a female HDMI connection. You'll probably want something like the adapter that eepoole4 linked to.
