where does important matter? is it the CPU power or the RAM power? because I have an old Xeon E5440 running at 2,83 ghz. when i tryed to overclock it automatically, the clock speed went up to 3,00 ghz. but the ram speed dropped from 1333 mhz down to about 800 mhz

There is no difference here. Some programs and games work better on a faster processor but use more memory while others are fine with less power and fewer resources available.

There is really no competition here because some games need the processor and others need memory, but they do not fight against each other.
