Looking to upgrade my cooling system, I have very loud fans and I want to replace them with a quiet alternative. looking for recommendations. I want also something that is easy to install. I don't have much experience in pc building. Thank you in advance

you can probably fit a 120mm radiator with push\pull fans in the rear.

you have no mounting points for a larger radiator.
you would also need to replace the case for anything bigger.
and since the entire system is proprietary, designed to fit that case,
the motherboard & power supply would also have to be replaced.

just replacing the existing cooler with a nice air tower cooler could be a better option.

you would first need to measure how much space you have for a CPU cooler

or try to locate the specs available for a replacement CPU cooler in the user manual or support page(s).

two of the best air coolers available:
be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4
Noctua NH-D15

depending on the temperatures you are reaching you may not need such advanced cooling,
but both manufacturers have lesser versions that could also suit your needs.

Looking at the picture that @JohnBonhamsGhost posted, I would start by measuring the maximum height of an air cooler you can use. They are usually quieter than AIO.
There are MULTIPLE threads on the Dell forums you should probably read
