If you are going to dedicate cores to different VM's, then get a CPU with a lot of cores.  i5 would be good, but AMD will probably be better here as though they are slower, you can get a 6-8 core CPU within your price range where you can't on the Intel side.

If you're switch doesn't support 802.3ad link aggregation then you'll have to dedicate one port to something independent of the other...which will take some work if you don't have a switch that supports vlans (if you don't have LAG support then you likely don't have vlan support).  Not impossible to setup but may require additional hardware.

I have a good idea of how to do it with 3 or 4 subnets but it's going to be a pain. I have a 24port managed gigabit switch so it has ling aggregation and vlans

here are the cpus and their prices in my area:
6300 - 105
8300 - 140
6350 - 150
8320 - 145
8320E - 145
8350 - 170

prices in euros. which cpu should I buy?

I'll need an AMD fan-boy to chime in here as I don't know much about the different models of AMD CPU's.

all the ones that start with 8 are octacores and the ones that start with 6 are hexacores. the difference is in clockspeed between the other models and in the case of the 8320E a lower tdp as well.
