The key for any hardware piece to work with others is the SOFTWARE. That is why anything you buy for your computer (graphics cards, hard drives, etc.) it comes with software (or the driver) to help the computer recognize it and use it for the function its meant to be used for. I hope this is what you were looking for.

Why CPU and memory are not connected directly with peripheral devices?

If they were, the devices would all have to have a separate interpreter for the processor and in order to communicate amongst themselves they'd have to go through the processor, which would slow the computer down. If everything is connected to the motherboard and the motherboard interprets everything for the processor, it's cheaper and faster.
