ATI Radeon 4850 Upgrade

I'm planning to upgrade my current video card to a ATI Radeon 4850. Would this card allow me to play Crysis decently at 1280x1024 on my current setup? (In my sig) The 7600 just doesn't cut it anymore. Also, is ASUS a good brand choice for this card? Or should I go with another brand? Thanks!

EDIT:

Is there a possibility that a better card from Nvidia would come out soon for around the same price point? Or is it safe to say that this card is probably the best bang for the buck for the next few months?
