It depends how far you want to go. If you want the most accurate data, use the System.Management class to call WMI Queries. However, if you really just want system info (static), then the System.Environment class (as suggested by Haris would be fine).
Win32_OperatingSystem has a lot of useful operating system data:

Win32_Processor will get you all the necessary processor information:

If you are looking for live metrics you will need to use the Raw Performance Counters found in Win32_PerfRawData_PerfOS_Processor:

There is plenty more you can do.
