It's difficult to say. Use a frameskip of 1 or 2 and keep an eye of task manager until CPU use reaches 85-90%

Intel i7 5960X

Actually for that fast of a CPU I'd start with a frameskip of 0 and then adjust cycles as eL_PuSHeR describes. If you're playing a newer game and it just won't run fast enough, then try raising the frameskip to 1 or 2.
