Okay is my rig compatible (mostly PSU and Mobo) with Asus Strix GTX 970 DCU2-OC?

CPU: Intel i7-4771
GPU: (currently GTX 670)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA H87-HD3
PSU: Thermaltake Berlin 630w
RAM: some corsair 16gb
Case: Bitfenix Merc Beta (has 280mm but I removed the hdd case and it fits 320mm gpu (current 281mm)

I kind of already ordered the GtX 970 asus so should it work fine?

Yes, absolutely compatible.

Motherboard Specs:

1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16)
(The PCIEX16 slot conforms to PCI Express 3.0 standard.)

* For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16 slot.

The GTX 970 only require a 500W PSU that can deliver...

The GTX 970 only require a 500W PSU that can deliver 28Amps or more on its +12V rail.

The Thermeltake Berlin 630W 80+ Certified with 80% efficacy can deliver a quality 42Amps or more on its +12V rail, which is more than enough to power the GTX 970 and your entire rig.

Cheers!
