So long story short I have my sister-in-law staying with me for a while and I am going to pull out one of my old comps that needs a few parts so she can play on that instead of taking my wifes or mine.

I dont really need any links to get me prices or anything just suggestions for what you guys think to get this thing off the ground to play something like Dungeon Defenders or Oblivion.

Current comp parts.
Athlon 64 X2 6000+
MSI K9A Mobo
2 GB - G.Skill DDR2 800 Mhz
Dell Ultrasharp 1600x1200
I have a Vista 64bit I can use for this build

Needed
GPU
PSU - My thoughts
HDD - Anything cheap out there? Probably just watch the FS/FT forum
maybe another 2gb Ram?

6770 or better gfx
corsair builder 430 is good for a small system
dunno whats good on hard drives since the tsunami bumped the market
the additional 2gb would help for 64bit
 
The cheapest decent drive I know of is this:
$86 - Hitachi HDS721050CLA362 500GB 7200RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

As for the video card, the cheapest gaming capable card that I can recommend is the $118 HD 6770:
$118 - XFX HD-677X-ZNLC Radeon HD 6770 1GB PCI-E Video Card

As for the PSU, the PSU you selected will be fine.
