Before I decide, tell me, can I play any Win7 game I like on Linux, by using Wine

No, wine will not play games with certain type of DRM. Beyond that you will have to put time and effort into searching for fixs and workarounds to each game individually if you run into trouble trying to play it through wine. People are willing to help with that but it will take work on your part as well. The wine appdb has info on many games and you should search for the games you want to play there and see what is listed for how well they work and how much goes into setting them up.



? I am a PC gamer, I want to have maximum performance on SLI GTX 580 graphics cards

You will not have this through wine. Wine does only DirectX9 graphics at this time. Any games that use DX10 or 11 will not have those graphics options and if the game requires either 10 or 11 it simply will not work. Even with DX9 you may not see the same framerates you do in windows but that will vary greatly depending on the game. Again, you can check the appdb ahead of time for more information on that per game.
