Yeah, the E2160 @ 3GHz would be a bit faster, even at 2.8GHz it should be about 10% faster.
For Crysis though (and most other games), a GPU upgrade would definitely be more beneficial. The 8800GT is by far the best choice GPU atm, though AMD is coming out with the HD 3870 that will hopefully give it good competition. We'll find out in a week I guess.
