First of all you guys are making the wrong types of comparisons when deciding which component is most important. I think that you have to start with the minimum requirements of the game and do a bench mark test. Then, use the slowest recommended processor with the highest available video card. Record benchmarks. Then do the opposite. Use the fastest processor available with the slowest recommended video card. Record benchmarks.
Compare the results of the three tests and voila, you have your answer. Since you say you have access to all different kinds of hardware maybe this is something you can do? This is the only real way to get a definitive answer, otherwise, we can throw examples back and forth but never know for certain.
