use VM to play games in Windows (Intense Games)

I have Ubunut installed on my desktop

AMD 6 Core 3.2 (will be getting the bulldozer AMD 8 Core when it releases)
16 GB of DDR3 1333 RAM
SSD
some HDD's
Nvidia 560 ti 1GB

My question is, how can I or can I even get a Win 7 VM to play games as well in a main install. Give it 10 GBs of RAM or something along those lines, give it some cores and PLAY games like BF3 or just intense games in general.

I love linux and hate windows but EA and Activision still do not release games for linux. I have heard of WINE but it does not support (as far as I have read) very intense games and at the least does not support BF3 or BFBC2. Another reason it be nice to run some servers form this server which just dont work that great in windows that currently I am running from a dual core 4 BGs of ram slow PC.

If I can do this, any hints on how to config it to streamline better.

Thanks in advance guys and gals.

NAME

     amdtemp -- AMD CPU on-die digital thermal sensor

SYNOPSIS

     amdtemp* at pchb?

DESCRIPTION

     The amdtemp driver provides support for the on-die digital thermal sensor present on AMD K8, AMD Barcelona, AMD Phenom, AMD Griffin, and AMD
     Fusion CPUs.

     These sensors were officially introduced in AMD K8 Revision F processors, and provide 0.5 degC accuracy.  Precision was improved in Revision
     G chips, which provide two more bits for 0.25 degC steppings.  Each core has two temperature sensors, and there are up to two cores per CPU
     socket.

     AMD Barcelona, AMD Phenom, AMD Griffin, and AMD Fusion provide 0.125 degC accuracy and provide one temperature sensor for each CPU socket.

     The amdtemp driver reports temperatures through the envsys(4) API.

HISTORY

     The amdtemp driver first appeared in OpenBSD 4.4 named ``kate''.  It was then ported to NetBSD 5.0.  The driver has been renamed with support
     for newer AMD CPUs.

AUTHORS

     The amdtemp driver was written by Constantine A. Murenin <cnst@openbsd.org> whilst at the University of Waterloo.	It was adapted to NetBSD
     by Christoph Egger.
