GlobalMemoryStatusEx for total RAM information:

GetProcessMemoryInfo for RAM regarding your process only:

Also note that brightness is not a property of the computer but of the monitor.
You could also look up some of this data using WMI.

Use IAudioEndpointVolume COM inteface if you want global information:

As for CPU usage, use process related functions (loop through them), there is no dedicated API for this. There is NtQuerySystemInformation, but that is very tricky to use it.
