Unfortunately, Dell cases are non-standard, and the chances of you being able to install a non-Dell motherboard in it are slim.
You'll need to buy a new case and PSU as well to be able to upgrade your motherboard.

Actually, you might be able to. But, you are going to need a dremel and perhaps a sledgehammer.
 
In the end, a new case would probably be cheaper.

As long as your case is an ATX case, and the motherboard is also ATX, you should have no problem.
