When gaming, try to lower the setting of the game. If the fps increase, it means that your GPU is already bottlenecking. But if the fps does not increase even at lowered setting, it means that your CPU is bottlenecking the GPU.

It's probably not bottlenecked much at all. A 550 Ti is not exactly a high power graphics card.

Id hope it's bottlenecked, because its running maybe 10% faster than my old 9500 gt in this computer.
