Hello!
We are currently building a new dedicated Minecraft server, and we have the following hardware:
- A55BM-K ASUS Mobo with FM2+ socket
- 8GB RAM DDR3
- 50 mbit up and down
- AMD A4-5300 APU ( so no GPU )
- An regular HDD
Dont get me wrong, i have a lot of knowledge when it comes to general PC hardware, but the server hosting part is a whole different section for me.
We opened yesterday, and when the server hit 15 players, the CPU hit 100% usage already. No doubt about it, we need a faster CPU for the processing power of the console.
We are thinking about the AMD A8-5600K APU, or an A10. Will this CPU handle 50/60 players with our recent hardware without any lag? Or if you have any other suggestions about an FM2 CPU/APU that would be great!
Our budget is 120 Euro's for the CPU/APU.
Thank you for reading!

Thank you for your comment! Although, we had a HDD for years now without any problems. We might consider a SSD in the future.
It's a worth while consideration, trust me
I have not heard of such CPUs, so cannot make a exact judgement.
But your best bet, is to compare the CPUs specs (Cores, threads, clock speeds, ect), and decide how much better your choice is.
I also noticed, you mentioned a regular HDD.
This by itself can be a bit of a issue later on, if you have a large map and what not, can cause massive loading times when starting the server and what not.
Keep that in mind, as most servers use SSDs for the harddrives
