A Sapphire brand hd4850 is probably your best bet, and will easily play Crysis well enough at those resolutions.

If my memory serves, Nvidia cards run Crysis better then AMD cards. If you are looking for the better card overall, try to find a nice 4850. Look for one that has an after market cooler/dual slot cooler. If all you care about is Crysis, get a nice 9800GTX+.

could this be a better 4850 choice? because the 4850 that the one guy showed me got bed reviews as far as cooling goes.

I would recommend this MSI card, it has an excellent cooler.
MSI R4850-512M Radeon HD 4850 512MB

4870 is the best you can get as far as performance goes.
