what is your budget
I am not buying any, soon maybe I just want to know what would be the best specs?
Maybe, around $20-50/mo
https://www.soyoustart.com/en/ is pretty decent.
How long is a piece of string?
For $20 - $50 /month you won't get much in terms of a dedi. Weather or not its suitable for your gaming community, that would depend on the community would it not?
Hard to answer this.

You'll be needing something like e3 with SSD. Ram around 8GB or higher. Internet connectivity must be a good one with low ping to your location.

For 20€/22$ I just grabbed a dedicated with an i5 2400S, 6GB DDR3, 2x 1TB HDD, unlimited traffic @ 1GBit in Germany.
8GB RAM
120GB SSD
1 IPv4
/64 IPv4
10TB Bandwidth
Dedicated KVM (HP Lights Out) with full graphical KVM, virtual media
Dedicated Power control (power on/off/reset as required)
OS: Centos, Ubuntu, Scientific Linux, Fedora, Debian, FreeBSD, etc
Unmanaged
$29/month
i7-47xxK would be be ideal, I guess
Recommended, Gaming communities are notorious for being hit with DDoS. You choose a provide that offers no protection, you're screwed.
Valid point. However, avoid this provider if you have to deal with their Dutch customer service. They suck and are arrogant.
Hello,
Have you any idea on what the server will run ?
A good way to start might be to check applications minimum specs on the software's website/s.
E3s and the single E5s (1620/1650 etc) are generally quite good for gaming as they have good single threaded performance, SSDs would certainly be beneficial as well.
What specs you could actually get depends on your budget and where you purchase from, though I'd also recommend DDoS Protection for game servers.

Terrible idea. OP needs a good fast server, not old and slow
OP needs a E3 CPU or e5 1620 v2 As @WSCallum said.
Make sure you get a DDoS protected server. Gaming communities are notorious for being hit with DDoS from competitors.
As for the CPU, go for a newer E3. An SSD or SSD-cached setup wouldn't hurt, either, but it depends on what you can afford
