Can a psu be too big?

Is there negatives to having too big a psu?
My rig is
980 or 780ti OCd
16gb 2666mhz ram xmp to 1.65v
I7 4790k OCd

What psu would you recommend for
1. 980
2. 780ti

Both with room to overclock.
Im personally tempted to just buy a 1000w gold psu and then i wont have to worry about power, or have to upgrade if i ever sli'd.
Is there negatives to having a massive psu?
Thanks

I currently have a 650w leadex gold superflower. Will that be ok for overclocking a single 780ti plus overclocking my cpu and memory?
Also is there any negatives to having a 850w or 1000w psu on a single card set up?

so regardless of whether i pick up 780ti or 980, i should be fine on 650w inc overclocking headroom?

I think il probably upgrade to a 850w if i decide to sli

Thanks for the help
