What would happen if you switched the Northbridge and the Southbridge?

Question

I guess to start, is it even possible? And if not, let's say it was, could it do damage to the Processor or GPU? Could other components on the Motherboard be affected?

Nope. Different chips, different number of pins. Different signals on whatever pins they have. It simply would not work.
