I'm probably gonna upgrade my pc with a gtx970 mini from gigabyte. (have a gt 710 right now) but will my psu be compatible and not be too big of a over kill.

nope when your gaming your stressing the power supply. buying one that slightly larger then needed keeps is running cooler then one that running near the 12v rail max output. you also get longer life out of power supply that over sized as the caps and other parts dont see high load on them when gaming. with newer power supply most now have thermal fans. if you buy a unit that loaded t o70-80 percent and game you may hear fan noise. the larger power supply can stay cooler under heaver load.
