The motherboard. Every single part of the computer plugs into the motherboard in some way or another, which is why you start with the motherboard when designing a computer.

There are many "Vital" components of a computer. The Motherboard, of course, will dictate a lot about your computer, and connects with most components of your computer, especially today with such extreme integration of subcomponents on the MB from networking to video. It will be noted, however, most Motherboards have expansion slots, and you might be able to add a SCSI card if your MB is not compatible with your hard drive of choice.

The motherboard has to be compatible with the processor.

The memory modules must be compatible with the motherboard. Newer faster memory will not work with an older board, but there is some backward compatability. Totally wrong ones wont physically fit in the socket.

Most of the other parts are generally interchangeable, disc drives, optical etc.

The technology has to be the same as the motherboard, SATA, IDE, etc.

The Motherboard/Backplane. The motherboard/backplane allows the different parts of the computer to talk to the CPU and memory, so it needs t be able to interact with all of the pieces.
