Need help in installing a gpu.

So I have my old ATI RADEON HD 4850 gpu Screenshot by Lightshot

I'm afraid to install it because I think my PC is old: Dell Inspiron 530 Specs - Desktops - CNET Reviews

If their will be any problems please tell me the solutions.
@Doc I think you can help me.

Just try to attach it.
If it doesn't fit, it's to old

Mother board supports : PCI Express x16

GPU interface: PCI Express 2.0 x16

It will be fine seeing how the gpu is old and so is your computer. As long as you have enough power(psu) it should be able to work.

Tell me what power supply you have.

"450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express power connector recommended (550 Watt and two 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX technology in dual mode)"

If you have that^ you will be fine.

could conflict due to power. I installed this beast:

RADEON HD6990

you can cook eggs on that bitch. Probably want to think about installing more fans as well, healthier for the machine anyway

I took old computer fans, cut the wires and attached them the end of a USB cord. Made a usb mini fan and set like 4 of them (i have a fuck load of usb spliters) and set them up to attach to the back. nice when i need to take them off

2GB ram, and dual core...
You might aswell just buy a new computer lol

It'll work AFAIK, but your CPU and shit will bottleneck. But you'll still see a performance boost in games that don't utilise the CPU much.
