The cheapest OpenCL-capable FPGA boards are Terasic's Cyclone SoC boards:

Not all of the boards support OpenCL. Please check the board specifications to make sure.

However, if by "supports OpenCL completely" you mean you need support for all OpenCL 1.2/2.0 features, then that is currently not available of FPGAs. Intel currently supports most of OpenCL 1.2 features and some 2.0 features.
