Yeah, I know that, I'm talking about the stuff like AIM, iTunes, anti-virus software, spyware, and many other apps that run in the background even if you aren't currently running them. You can see the real deal behind the scenes work in the processes part of task manager.

Video cards only improves the graphical performance of the game, but what you said improves the game you are right about.

You are right, you just misunderstood what I was trying to say. RAM and GHz does help the game, but making sure your CPU is running smoothly is good too.
