I'd suggest upgrading to the latest Quartus. The MAX 10 and smaller Cyclone V chips might be a good fit and only work with current Quartus versions. Unless your primary interest is PCB design, I'd suggest using a ready made development board, at least in the prototype stage. This way you know that the power supply and configuration works. Prototype and simulate your code using the FPGA from your intended board. If it fits the chip with enough extra resources for future needs, go ahead and buy the dev board.
