Are you also going to design a PCB? If not, I would suggest taking a look at dev boards. See their resources and that might narrow down your target fpga.

Thanks for your help. I'm not going to design a PCB so I do what you suggested and looked for a development board, I see some kits, but they are too cheap ($130) and I don't know if they didn't have what I'm looking for, also I found this:
https://www.altera.com/products/boards_and_kits/dev-kits/altera/kit-cyclone-v-soc.html#devkit I think it will be perfect to test my RISC-V and some other projects in the future, as you can see I don't have so much experience buying FPGAs so if you could tell me that this is the device I should use, I would appreciate it.
Edit: I have been reading some posts and I'm getting more and more confused about how to use SoC and FPGA. My RISC-V will be programmed in VHDL language so I will have to load it into the FPGA hardware, because the SoC can't be programmed, right? I understand that SoC is used to run some software program and it can get more resources using FPGA circuits, or am I wrong? If this is true, in the case I need only a FPGA to test my RISC-V I should buy some FPGA without SoC, but if i want to use that FPGA for running some programms i should buy one with SoC, right?
Thank you,
Joel.
