PS: what GPU would be recommended? (watt / GFLOPs?, should be way x < $1000)

(hope it is Open Source) will it look like this? https://youtu.be/r97GWqMD7_c https://skfb.ly/6QV7A holy it is a probably not accurate 3D model that a 3D hobbyist did, but it looks just great & it run's in the user's browser and supports VR neat :) checkout this software http://universesandbox.com/scottmanley discover the universe like a video game :) (it is more about inspiring people, if VR is brings any practical advancements is still in question https://sg.news.yahoo.com/vr-milky-way-model-open-100210956.html have a good time despite everything
