Yes, HDMI 2.1 is the future for the technology, but it’s also right now. As a gamer, it’s only sensible to take advantage of the very best HDMI has to offer.

Standard: An older HDMI cable type designed to transmit 1080i or 720p video. High Speed: This kind of cable has a max bandwidth of 10.2Gbps and supports 1080p, 4K/30Hz, 3D, and Deep Color.

So let’s make one thing perfectly clear, if your current HDMI cables are able to transfer 1080p content, then they’ll be able to handle 4K at 60fps, and there’s no need to upgrade.
