Can't speak to current go programs, but there's lots of exciting stuff going on currently with machine learning / deep neural networks, most of which uses GPUs heavily. I know some research has been done on convolutional neural networks for Go -- don't have any links handy at the moment though.
Recommend getting a recent vintage NVIDIA gpu (for CUDA support). Say, a 780 or 980. Either of these would be fine for your visualization purposes as well.
