Just CPU type and CPU clock frequency.  RAM speed is irrelevant for most
GMP computations (it becomes relevant only if you primarily juggle
operands of many millions of bits).

Make sure to build GMP on the machine where you will run it (or else
manually configure it for the target CPU).  Please see the manual for
more on this.

You might want to take a look at https://gmplib.org/gmpbench.html if you
intend to purchase hardware specifically for GMP.  Note that the first
table's measurements are for dev versions of GMP, the subsequent tables
are for quite old releases.

Note that GMP only runs on a single CPU core.  You need to invoke GMP
from many threads or processes in order to use multiple CPU cores.

  if i want to install a operating system for using gmp, which one you suggest?

Any BSD or GNU/Linux will perform within a percent of each other for GMP.
