Would my i5 3550 bottleneck my 2x 670s in sli?

I currently have an i5 3550 @3.9ghz and i have two 670 gtx in sli.
I was just wondering if my cpu is bottlenecking my gpu in anyway... thanks for any input!
 
Solution
It might slightly in certain games. For example, my stock 3570k had 2 cores at 100% in Crysis 3 while my gpus were used about 90% each. That's the only game where my cpu has held me back though.

ok thanks! but that kinda leads me to another question, my 2 gpu's usage % while playing crysis3 and other games ranged from 85~98% constantly changing (sometimes staying around 95% area but never staying @ 99% usage) is this normal? do i have a faulty gpu?
