What mods should I use to make KSP as beautiful and realistic looking as possible.

Basically all of these.

These mods (including their dependencies) will improve terrain, water, atmosphere, exhausts and lighting at least. I personally don't know of any mods that improve part textures.

Also add Texture Replacer (specifically, the RangeMachine alt that works in KSP 1.2) and your favorite choice of skybox (universe background) if the stock universe background gets no pardon.

I'll add: 

It's a little more subtle than the ones above, but seeing distant ships as small dots that get bigger as you approach, that wink out when you pass over the terminator - adds a little extra wow factor
