It depends on how much you paid for it. Usually its a good idea to ask for advice BEFORE you buy a system.
 
Looks like a good budget build to me. You can add more RAM, add another 3870 for CF, and upgrade to a quad core latter on so you've got room to grow. I say for your next upgrade you should get a good CPU cooler to overclock your CPU and add another 3870 before they disappear. Well, maybe by then you'll just upgrade do a DX11 GPU instead :D.

Anyway, looks good. You should be fine with 2GB for now.
