Well, thats your problem. Use display port.
Also, when you use "I" in reference to yourself, its capitalized. Furthermore, the first letter of a sentence is capitalized. Don't start a sentence with "and" in the context that you did, its unnecessary. When can't is a contraction, you need an apostrophe (').
Here is what your first post should look like:
"Hi, I have a 144hz monitor, and I have a i7 6700k and a r7 250. I can't select any other refresh rate than 60hz. Let me know if you need more info about my system."
This is much more professional, and makes someone want to help more.
Thanks,
Trevor

Unfortunately you'll need to get a new GPU that supports 144Hz. I believe HDMI 2.1 supports 144Hz at 1080P, but if your graphics card is old enough that it doesn't have DisplayPort then it almost certainly doesn't support HDMI 2.1.

Can you use a DVI cable?

 

[benjamin.dobell]

For DVI to work the cable and the GPU will need to support Dual-link DVI:

EDIT: Not sure if it'll actually reach 144Hz, 120Hz maybe?

The card has a DVI-D Dual Link port. Provides a dual link cable is also used then 1080p @ 144Hz is supported.
