I have a dell inspiron 531s. I want to upgrade the graphics card for gaming, which also means I need to upgrade the power supply. I haven't really been able to find a card or a PSU that would fit the case. If anyone has any suggestions they would be much appreciated.

Welcome to tsf.
Since that pc is slimline they do not make high powered videocards that would even fit in that case. Thus you won't be needing a new powersupply. The only card that are availible that are ok for gaming would be the 8500 slim or the rare 8600 slim.

You won't be able to upgrade the psu. And either cards should be available on ebay.

but note the 8500 doesnt come with a low profile bracket
