Will be enough only one strong server for me or should i start at the begining with 2 not-so-strong servers ? And why? Please explain.
Thinking about to use nginx and varnish cache

300 users online at once is probably going to require quite a powerful server. If you can turn on that traffic like a faucet, then build your server with alot of ram and a focus on disk i/o. That being said, i'd look into CDN's and a host with a cloud storage (ie. reflected) to house the data. Then you don't need to worry about scaling...
