This is generally correct, but not entirely accurate.

Easiest way to kind of look at it is that the CPU is the brains of the outfit (the computer). Everything else is the support. If the CPU is not powerful enough to support such advanced technology that something like a high-end GPU can provide, the CPU will only take what it can handle (meaning wasted power from the GPU). Likewise, if you have a powerful CPU, but a low-end GPU, your CPU can only do so much with the tools available to use, especially when it's regarding things that it isn't exclusively designed for (like graphics processing). That really isn't 100% accurate neither, in hindsight, but it's definitely a factor of one relying more on the other, than it being so much of an equal outlook.

Oh and maybe if your case is big enough, those cards tend to be long now x.x
This too lol.
