I don’t intend to be rude, but it’s highly unlikely that you’re going to get a server anywhere near five hundred players, so think realistically and purchase the resources you need, not what you don’t need.
Test your script locally to see the RAM usage, memory is generally statically allocated within SA-MP, so as long as you aren’t using anything like PVars in your script, you’ll be able to see what amount of RAM is being used properly.
As for CPU, that’s highly dependant on your scripting and what players do on your server. You’re never going to be able to stress test accurately how much CPU you’re going to need. Well, I say never, it’ll be hard unless you stress test with a load of people in the same area spamming commands and whatnot.
As for bandwidth/"connection," a full 100 player server apparently uses around 4Mbps, so 5 * 4 = 20, you’re going to need around 20Mbps for your server’s upload/download (upload speed is the most important in this case). As for bandwidth, I’d not be able to give you an accurate measurement.
