You'll likely be fine with the mini if you want to go that route. Normally I'm vehemently opposed to OEM design cards, but the GTX 970 is kind of the exception to the rule for two reasons,
1. The reference GTX 970 is difficult to get (only available at Best Buy in the US)
2. The card draws at most 155W (but usually less than 140W) which is about how much power a high-end CPU draws, so it's pretty easy to cool
