Bump. Could my CPU be "bottlenecked"? I've seen this term floating around.
Again my system is:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz
GeForce GTX 750 Ti - latest Update (DA:I driver 344.75)
8 GB RAM
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Your CPU is extremely low end, and your GPU is very new. So yes, it's a distinct possibility.

Okay, so I'd have to upgrade my CPU then? How much would that run me approximately? (Like $100-200 range?)
And despite it being on the low end, it is still .7 GHz above the minimum requirements for the game so should I not be running it fine?

This is a shot in the dark but you wouldn't have a gamepad plugged in by any chance would you? I had extremely bad slowdown and stuttering that was driving me crazy. Then for some reason when I unplugged my gamepad the game worked perfectly.

No I don't. Thanks for the suggestion though.

You would be looking at a minimum $300+ upgrade to meet reccomended specs. An I5 would run around $200+ and then a motherboard will run $120~200 for a good one.
I would give EA time to fix this monstrosity before upgrading anything. Your GPU will still be low end, but right at reccomended specs.
I am running a much higher end spec'ed machine and I am still struggling to get 60 fps on a single monitor with 2 highly over clocked GTX 780 classifieds.

If oyu dont mind, what FPS do you run with one GTX 780. I've been having massive FPS drops but only when I look into highly NPC populated areas... If i look at the ground or at a wall I get up to 60+ but as soon as i look into a town I dropp to like 12...
