how do I detect windows system information in c++

I'm writing a windows game, but in order to run it has to meet certain requirements. How do I detect the system requirements of the computer?

I only need to read the information, such as RAM, CPU, Graphics hardware, and sound hardware.

The msdn website is a maze, and I have no clue where to look this up.

Quoting from here:
* GetSystemInfo - Processor info
* GetVersionEx- osversion/service pack
* GlobalMemoryStatusEx- Memory status

Polling the graphics hardware should be done through Direct3D. __cpuid is an intrinsic in Visual Studio.

GlobalMemoryStatusEx will do for RAM.
