Not exactly. I would say it's more like 1) ram 2) Proc 3. Video Card

The ram supples data to the processor, then the processor sends data to the video card.
If you have a super fast video card, but a slow processor, the video card will be starved of data, it will be idle much of the time. If you have a super fast processor but low amounts of ram the same situation will occur, the processor will be idle much of the time waiting for data from ram.
