RAM should be like 200-400 MB per server, so 2 GB should be enough for 3 GS.
If you plan to run high slot count servers you should buy a cpu that is as fast as possible [b]per core[b/]. srcds is single threaded and can use only one core. for running 3 such big servers you will also need a quadcore (1 core per server).

looks good. you should probably ask the provider to disable hyper threading and turbo boost in the BIOS, as both are known to reduce performance in case of game servers.
how many slots this machine can host can nobody tell you without trying it out. it depends on many more factors but only on the CPU - especially on your personal demands on the quality and on the configuration you use. also, usually the number of servers itself presents a stronger limit. in case of high slot-count servers I would say the limit is at one server per core, i.e. 6 servers in your case.
SAS hard drives will not increase performance of game servers, so you can save money by using standard SATA disks.
