The CPU you listed is from 2009 and the GPU you listed is from 2012

A modern PC is one using parts that are still actively used in new systems.

This would be a modern platform:

Why are you trying to build a PC with old hardware?
A low-medium end modern PC will cost the same as a "high end" 6-7 year old like you are looking at. With the modern one you have an upgrade path, with the old you are going to immediately run into issues with driver and software support.
