Hey,

I've noticed that when I play games on my CPU that my GPU usage (I'm running SLI) is about 35% each on both GPU's and my CPU is hitting up to 70%. I'm running GTX 770 SLI's and an AMD-FX 9370 @ 4.4GHz. Should I overclock my AMD FX or what could I do to increase GPU Usage and decrease CPU Usage. My PSU is a Corsair RM850 PLUS GOLD and my motherboard is a Sabertooth 990FX R2.0.

high cpu and low gpu does indicate that the cpu is not fast enough to keep the video card working hard(or vsync is on in some cases).

Faster cpu or a bit of overclocking may help this. As long as you get the performance you want, I would not worry.
