On an LCD monitor I'd go with resolution first unless it's a game where you don't need to read any text, like maybe a sports game or racing. I guess Crysis could be either way because I haven't played it, but in general I definitely go for the resolution that my flat panel monitor is made for and then turn off shadows, advanced effects or whatever necessary to make the game playable.
I had a fight with this when playing Bioshock and simply had to accept that top modern graphics is not for me. For what I've read of Crysis, the top graphics aren't fun for more than a select few.
However the lowest budget range cards may be so fillrate limited that say 1280x1024 isn't attainable even at low effect levels and then one does of course have to stick to the reality of that.
