crysis is a title which can even bring the best and the most powerful cards to its knees........
with everything maxed out and at a resolution of about 1680 and 1050 u will be getting decent playable game rates......dont wrry !!!!

getting fps in games like crysis is like the more u have the more u want !!!
and moreover anything above 35 fps is the same in our eyes......a frame rate of 35 or 70 or even about 100 cannot be differenciated with normal eyes !!!

Yes, that AMD system will handle Crysis Warhead just fine according to this review:
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3641&p=7
According to this article the AMD system will do as well as a i920.

Althought the above testing was done with a GTX 280, you can expect similar resultus with a 5850.

If you want to save a few dollars, you might consider overclocking a AMD 955 processor to essentially get similar performance.

Good luck with your build.
