Looks normal to me. I've got pretty much the same setup and memory usage- you do not seem to be using an excessive amount of memory

Are you sure? Don't some computers only come with 2gb of memory? Is it really right for a freshly restored PC to be using 2.5gb with nothing really running or am I missing something?

the more ram you have the more the OS will use, until it gets its fill. When you start a foreground application such as a game, generally the OS will cache background processes to the virtual memory.
So basically until you reach above 90% of ram usage you should not suffer performance loss during a game for example.
