I plan on having an unmeatered VPS at about 40MBPS, about 30GB HDD.
But will 1 core and 512 ram with 1GB vram be good?
Planning on using http://rethinkvps.com/vpshosting.php
Planning on hosting about 60 videos at a time, maybe 3-5 viewing concurrently would I be okay?

Why would you post this in the linux forum? I'll move it, but please pay attention. Thank you.

I plan on hosting it on Centos?

I thought people whom use linux and have experience with servers could help out

It is not clear if you are doing something in your home or at a business location.
Why not just rent the service you need? Is this a long term project?
Do you have any equipment you can use for a test?
Is this for use in a Local Ara Network?
Is this for use in a school?
Is this for video streaming over the internet?
Some 50 full length videos would be about 50 GB of disk space. An 80 GB drive should be enough for the job. I suppose you are using AVI format or MP4.
Memory: Yes, 512 MB might work, but better to go with 2 GB.
A single core Pentium or Celeron CPU over 1 GHZ can stream about 4 feeds at once over a Ethernet connection.

How do you plan on streaming the video? A 512mb VPS will certainly go a long way and that connection should be fast enough.
The other benefit with being on a VPS is that you can easily scale up to one of the higher RAM/more core packages without having to reinstall your OS.etc.
