Video card has the largest effect on FPS. But you need a decent CPU to go with the video card, otherwise you'll end up bottlenecking the video card and limiting it's performance.

The graphics card has the biggest effect on FPS. But having a small amount of ram or a slow cpu can still have a big effect especially combined. If the graphics card needs to keep waiting for data to render because ether there is not enough ram so game data needs to be swapped in and out of ram or the cpu is too slow and not keeping up with the graphics card then you are going to have some problems.
