The answer to your question is no.
I can play Crysis at Max setting, but Crysis Warhead I have to play with settings two notches down from max..(Mainstream setting).

You need a very fast computer to play this game smoothly, I recommend the following:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Overclocked from 2.5GHz to 3.0GHz
4GB DDR2 PC6400
Zalman CNPS-9700 LED CPU Fan
Asus P5N-D Motherboard
500GB Western Digital Caviar 7200RPM
Dual 512MB ATI Radeon HD4850 CrossFire X

Only cost $1,500 and plays Crysis at a smooth 30 FPS on very high settings at 1680 x 1050 on 20" LCD

How about the following will this play crysis at max settings smoothly on a 22 inch LG?

qx9650 processor (quad core)
Geforce 280 gtx
4 GB DDR3 Evga Ram
300 GB SD drive or 10,000+ RPM Hardrive

You have to look at price/performance, not everyone is rich. Your system cost about $3,000 which is doubled of my $1500 rig and the most expensive rig I sell is the following:

Intel Core i7
4GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 PC12800 with Airflow Fan
Asus P6T X58 Motherboard
Dual Water Cooled Overclocked 2GB GDDR5 ATI Radeon HD4870X2 Quad CrossFire X
Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi FATAL1TY
Dual 300GB Western Digital VelociRaptor 10,000RPM
Dual Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Burners
Logitech G5 Laser Mouse & G15 Gaming Keyboard
Bose Companion Speaker System

This system plays Crysis at over 150 FPS on very high settings on a 22" LCD
