Most important hardware?

I'm far from an expert but from what I can tell the most important things performance wise for an MMORPG in order are CPU, RAM, Card, HDD. I would like to hear what more knowledgeable people think. Please explain.

Thanks

I voted other. Each component is important. If your working with a budget then you need to balance your system. If your building an upgradable system then the processor is the most important. If your just playing mmorpg's i5 or i7 2.5gz or better, gtx460 or better, 8gb ram or better, and 500gb of hard drive space or better will get you good image quality for current titles, there are alot of new ones coming down the pipe though, a faster cpu may be desirable and a better gpu will most likely get utilized more, unfortunately they are the most expensive parts to the pc. If your building a pc I would say today dont skimp on the cpu, that market doesnt move up and down like the gpu market does.

If a table has four legs, which is the most important?  You need all of the components to work properly.

like most have already said.. you need all of them there is no such thing as 1 hardware to rule them all this isnt lords of the rings after all.. 

 

but if i was to choose 1 piece of hardware that is in the top 5 utmost important i would say PSU.. cause cpu/ram/gpu/optic(hdd/sd) can be upgraded but without a good quality psu to power it all.. all you do is fry it and piss money away.
