Thinking of picking up so steezy's Burton setup but not sure if it'll be too big for me since I'm new. My dad says it should be fine, Burton site says I can fit a 152-162 (so steezy's board is a 158cm) but my gf says the 158 will be too much for me right now.

What do you guys think?

Depends on what you want to do and how big you are. I'm 6'1" and ride a Lib Tech 157 wide. Short boards are good for spins and turns, but larger boards are good for downhill. A 158 is a good size as it is a mixture of both. Personally, I wouldn't go smaller then a 154 and even then I think that is almost too short for me.

Ultimately it depends on what you want to do, but looking at the photo of you I would think you would be fine with a 158.
