should I modernize my 87 Schwinn Circuit?

Not so long ago I picked a frame from the rafters from one of my lbs. My original intentions were to make it into a fixie, which I did. I have been happily riding it along this way for several months now. But lately, I have been getting the itch to build it up into a geared bike. however, I don't want to use retro components, I really want to use modern sti style shifters and brakes.
So I wanted to get some opinions from the forum.
As the title says, I have an 87 schwinn circuit. Its made from some columbus steel and fits me very well. I would still like to keep it on a budget, so I have been thinking shimano 105 would be adequate.
