Honestly though, it's not so much about the specs as it is brand of graphics card. NVIDIA has great Linux graphics drivers, and ATI has poor Linux graphics drivers. So good job on getting an nVIDIA graphics card.
You should have a good shot at being able to play the games fine, but you will probably not be able to max out every setting listed on the graphics page and some things there you will not be able to use at all, even if you could use them in Windows. Those upcoming games you listed are likely to have some special effects that require Direct X 10. Even though your card will run DX11 stuff if a game has it, you will not get any options above DX9 until Wine progresses further in that area.
