Is it too much? Where I'm from it's about 85 USD cheaper than an R9 280x, and cheaper than an R9 290. I'm not sure if that's the case everywhere, but prices here are sometimes kind of weird.
 
Solution
Grab it with both hands! Its better than R9 280X/ 290 or GTX 770/780 while comsuming much less power. Its not overkill, 970 is what you'd want for maxing out any game with comfortable FPS.
