In whatever era they invent the time machine.

Then I'd come back and sell you all graphics cards from the future and be rich beyond my wildest dreams

Late 1960 then i'd have formed a band in the golden age of music.

So if you're born in 1968 and you start a band at 16 you reckon the golden age of music was around 1984?

I'd say late 70's so that I could have got a house shortly before the housing boom!

Are you saying you'd like to be an adult in the late 70s or be born in the late 70s?
We bought our second house in 1984 for £14,000 and about 4 years later it 5 times that price.
If you were born in 1978 and bought your first house at 25 you are talking about 2003 where house prices were ridiculous.

I'm sure some people are getting the OPs question wrong:

I fancy a bit of stargate travel so about the time of regular stargate traveling would be the best time for me

1900 and kill hitler and stalin.

I'd think twice about that.

Killing Hitler when he was a boy wouldn't have changed the circumstances he used to gain power, so it's possible that the result of you killing him would simply have been Nazi Germany as before but with a different Nazi in charge. Since Hitler made some major mistakes that a different Nazi might not have made, it's possible that killing Hitler when he was a boy would have made WW2 and the aftermath even worse than it was.

2100 or 2200, I think the world will be a lot different. Damn you parents and death!

Definitely the future. Something like the year 1002013 (so 1 million years from now) because i'm mostly interested in seeing how the surface of the Earth will have changed...
