Can someone school me on video upscaling please?

I was doing some random surfing through [H] today (specifically the HTPC section) and came across quite a bit of info regarding upscaling. My HTPC specs: i5 6500, GTX1070, 16GB ram for the basics. It doubles as my plex server and gaming pc and streams to one other device in the house (shield tv in the bedroom). TV the HTPC is connected to is a Samsung un65ks8000 and I'd love to take as much advantage of the picture quality as I can. So.....what program(s) would be recommended with my setup to upscale the quality of some of my media and can I integrate it with Plex? Even worth it?

Edit: Sorry, found my answer closed.
