Tbh, it's really hard to choose, a lot of games tie game speed to CPU clock speed, so the PC would be highly unqualified to play certain games either way. I guess a 486 would be your best bet.

Before the 486, a lot of games did go faster as the CPU speed increased. I remember the original MechWarrior was very fast on a 486. I think most games that came out in the 486 era or later didn't have that problem. Usually you could overcome the issue by turning off Turbo and/or using a utility.
