Computer for maya

I have a quick question.

When I go from wireframe to smoothshade it bogs down the computer sometimes. I was wondering why it does that?

I also used a sample model that someone else created and it still did it.

here are the specs of my PC.

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual
Core Processor 3800+
2.01 GHz
3GB Ram
Nivida Geforce 6800GT
Windows XP PRO SP2

also I plan on making my own computer but I want to build it around maya, what are the best components to have in a computer for maya, it have it renter and animate anything I want.
From Graphics Card, to RAM

thanks,
-nick

yeah I could look at the specs. of the program on the site but I wanted first hand exp. with the program it is easier to find out what works BEST rather than going by the requirements of the program. But it might be the graphics card.
