Default Recommended computer specifications for Lightroom?

So for a while, I've been using my ancient old computer for editing my photos in Lightroom. Although the specs to my computer exceed the minimum requirements listed on Adobe's website, it is still very slow when editing. This includes major lag time when moving the exposure slider, viewing other photos, etc. I'm looking into building a new computer but would like to know what specifications are recommended to make Lightroom work silky smooth, since this will be my primary usage. Let me know guys!
