So, you're interested in more 3e books (as opposed to the current edition, 4e)?
Many of them are available in PDF. And some people prefer to stick with 3e over 4e.

i could probably be happy playing almost any genre, but i am quite interested in lovecraftian/horror, and steampunk/sci-fi/alternatives

Well, to start with the... hm, I can't say "core" or "basics", can I? :) So, the foundation for genres you might want to look at:
GURPS Horror - The general genre book. Not just Lovecraftian, but all sorts of horror.
GURPS Steampunk - Again, the genre starting place
GURPS Space - Again, a book about the genre. There's no specific setting here, but rather a lot of worldbuilding rules and information on environments, generating planets and star systems, equipment and starship rules, and so on.
GURPS High-Tech - The gear and weapons book for everything from the Renaissance up to modern day (keeping in mind that 3e is a couple of decades old). (The one for stone age through medieval is called "Low-Tech". The one for SF gadgetry is "
Ultra Tech" and "Ultra Tech 2".)
