My PC parts come this Monday and should I overclock my Intel Core i3 4130, Asus Nvidia GTX 750 Ti, Corsair CX W430, with the stock Intel HSF?

You can't overclock an i3 without changing the base clock, which I strongly suggest you not do. You can overclock your graphics card to your heart's content, though.

Would my PSU handle it since it's only 430W?

That's much more than enough to handle overclocking a 750 Ti. The card consumes very little power.
