Sorry, you can have a cheap-ish FPGA that came out 10 years ago, or a new FPGA that costs more than your car and requires a $3000 software license to even program. Those are the only options allowed.

Buy a Xilinx U50C or U55 (C1100) - neither require a Vivado license and both have HBM/many LUTs (VU35P chips.) Neither will exceed $1500.
