I just ordered one because I'm going to return an Ultra X-Connect 500W one back to Fry's because it heats up fast and makes my whole computer warm. But how is this PSU?

Depends on how much power-demanding hardware you've got in your system. I personally wouldn't go as low at 430 watts, because I like to have more overhead.

Decent but it all depends on what type of system your runing
my 420Watt PSU is fine for my system
If your on SLI 7800GTX, DFI lan party nforce 4 SLI, Athlon FX 57, 4GB DRR3200 cas2, raid 3 SATA2, 430watt won't do it.

Wattage is almost useless to gauge the performance of a PSU. Amps on the rails is what matters, and from a reputable company.

A 300W Enermax PSU will outperform any <$50 500W PSU.
