Are you certain that you have an Inspiron 530s [Slimline] computer?
The Inspiron 530s version were never sold with a Core 2 Quad processor by Dell, only the Inspiron 530 Mini Tower version were sold with Core 2 Quad CPUs, as they require a different PSU and motherboard than were factory installed in the Slimline versions?

According to the links you sent me, I guess I have a mini tower. If I upgrade the PS, can i go even larger?

As you already have BIOS Version: 1.0.15 installed, you should be fine to upgrade to any compatible Core 2 Duo/Pentium Dual-Core processor.

Thank you!
I've replaced/installed just about everything in a PC except the processor, so this will be a first.

I also hava a Dell 530S，within the FoxConn G33 motherboard. I am wondering whether I can use E8600 because my computer rated power is 250W. Is this enough for me to use E8600?
