Very much doubt you'll reach max settings for Crysis 3 on that rig. Anyway, I'd look at swapping your HDD to a Seagate Barracuda for approximately the same price. They perform better and I've found them to be more reliable.

I wouldn't go as far as full AA and 3D. I agree on the Seagate suggestion, but as for the performance I think if you drop the 3D and lower some AA settings it should be fine on High-Max settings with an "acceptable" FPS.

Here is a video of someones rig with the same CPU and GPU (Take into account both are OC'ed)
