Bottleneck?

[oalfyo]

Will my amd phenom2 x4 BE b55 bottleneck a gtx 580? 570? or sli 560ti?

It probably will in some games, but not more then a little, you'll be fine.

What is meant by X4 B55 BE? X2 555 BE?

X2 555 will bottleneck those card pretty much even with overclock. I recommend an upgrade to X4 955 or better and a bit of overclock it.

If it's X4 955 BE or better, it'll not be bottlenecked, if it's bottlenecking, you can overclock your CPU and eliminate the bottleneck problem. Good Luck .

B55 is an unlocked CPU
