For my brother's birthday he would like a graphics card, so naturally it is my job to figure out what to get. Does anyone here know if the PCI-e slot on the dell 084J0R is?

Should do. Have a look inside as you'll also need to check the power supply

Forgot about that, probably need a new PSU for it.

Which Dell Inspiron is it? If it has a 400w+ you could get him an Nvidia 750 ti, does not require a 6 ping connector.

What type of power supply is it? Hopefully ATX

It is, all the cables coming out of the current one are being used, I just forgot to check it before.

Not sure, it has a third gen i5, 8GB ram, and intel HD2500 graphics.

What wattage is it and is there a brand? Depending on what wattage you'll have to get the 750 ti w/o a 6 pin as @Abdul201588 suggested. If it's not good then you'll be able to get a good power supply and potentially a r9 270 depending on how much you want to spend.

It is 300 watts, so it looks like I'm getting a new PSU for it to.

Yup, sounds like a plan. What's your budget for the upgrade?

About 150, luckily it doesn't need to be modular in any way, I am the only one who would open the case.

US Dollars?

Yea sorry, sometimes I forget that 150 doesn't instantly mean $150.

Not sure if these 2 would be a better deal, or the quality of this PSU.

Is that PSU enough for the card? If it is I will probably go with this.
