    At a guess, at least 6-8?

    On my desktop I can run 3:

    i5 3570
    8GB RAM

    Bingo! I bought this dedi and I'm able to start 7 bots in safe mode with 90-96% CPU usage for 110$ / month. Is it worth it? We will see. Thanks for answer. :)

    You are paying a very large amount since you are paying mostly for the DDoS Protection OVH provides. This would be better and it's 42 USD.

    Nocix

    Or this for 56.

    Damn! It looks very promising. I think I'm going to test it out next month. Thanks.

    @max4186 Do you use any of these?

    If you're going to buy a dedicated server I would suggest using a Xeon-based server as I feel like you're paying an awful lot for 7 bots and I feel like you're being unnecessarily bottle necked by not having a Xeon CPU. I may be wrong though; what's your RAM usage when running 7 bots?

    It uses only around 6GB. Do you think that dedi that Max suggested would be better for me?

    I'm not sure if you'd be able to run more bots on that; but at least the same amount but the cost is halved. If you don't mind paying the amount you currently do I'd suggest finding a Xeon-based server.

    The second server that Max listed (Nocix) is roughly 30% worse than an i7-4790k, going by those numbers I would roughly expect 4-5 bots on an E3 1230 V2.
    It is more cost effective, roughly a 50% price drop for a 30% performance loss, but naturally that trade-off is up to you.

    There should be no bottleneck as a Xeon provides very few features that matter to the RS botting scene, like ECC memory for example.
    Affordable Xeons from dedicated server companies are typically quite old, so they're more likely to be missing instruction sets as well, there's really no significant reason for a Xeon to be "optimal" for this scenario.
