You could probably get away with a dual core CPU, and 2GB Ram if you are just hosting those three servers. Ideally you'd want has high CPU processor as you can.If you go here:

You can get bencmarks of CPU's are see how much bang you'll get for your buck. Just like anything else, you'll want to shop around and get a good deal.
Thanks for the info and fast reply. I have been shopping around and I just can't decide if it'd be better to use a dedi or shared server. I know the advantage of having a dedi means your resources are guaranteed but I just need a general idea of what specs I need to run the 2-3 servers I need.
I'll be going in with a partner on the cost of the rental. The plan is to set everything up on the ESXi and test the configs. Then we plan to rent a box for a month and if satisfied we will rent it for a year.
I will go checkout cpubenchmark and see what I can get out of the plans I have seen that fit my budget. Thanks again and I'm sure I will be frequenting this and other post on srcds which from what I have seen is a great resource and community!
