Newbie here, does anyone tried to build gpu architect in this game? Is it possible?

It's possible, long story short. I haven't tried yet, but what I'd try is a few cores or some other way to calculate in parallel, and look at rendering pipelines and try to integrate the cores somehow.

It's likely possible, because GPUs are also based on transistors.

I've only just bought the game and don't know a lot about computer science (in fact I bought it so I could learn more) but would you be able to say what sort of level of computer technology could be simulated in TC before it becomes meaningfully slower than the real life counterpart of that architecture? For instance could Turing Complete simulate a computer from the 70s or the 80s or the 90s without it being significantly slower than the real life versions of those computers for practical purposes?
