Hardware Inventory Report through Powershell

Question

Hi Guys,
I have a custom report within SCCM, which gather information per device such as: Device Name, Operating System, Number of Cores, Logical Processors, SQL Version. This works fine.
I know a lot of this information actually gets stored in WMI on the SCCM server. Is there a particular WMI Namespace/Class from which i can retrieve the above details via powershell? I know of the ClassName: SMS_CombinedDeviceResources, which gives me Operating
System information per device but nothing else.
Is it actually possible to retrieve such info from WMI in SCCM 2012? If it is then please point in the direction of classes to query for the above information. I am also going through: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh948405.aspx to find the same
information.
Thank You

SQL isnt bad, you can look online to get sample queries and work from there. You basically pick your view to pull from, choose your columns and then join and limit that as you need to. 
Here is a quick example to get the data you asked for:
select *
from v_GS_PC_BIOS
It will return all columns, but you can limit those down by typing them after your select clause instead of *.
