No it will not work. The motherboard you have (this one I think: http://www.ascendtech.us/dell-inspiron-530-530s-fm586-motherboard_i_mbdel7750fm586.aspx ) is based on the LGA775 socket and the Intel Core i5 3470 Quad Core is based on the LGA 1155 socket. You should look at upgrading your motherboard also to an LGA 1155 socket motherboard if you want that CPU. Also, all modern CPUs will not work with that motherboard so I would upgrade if I were you.

What kind of motherboard would you recommend? I have 6gb ram, 2.33ghz quad core and radeon hd 4600 I'm using a dell inspirion 530 tower.
