So many lifts.
Id go with
Westside for skinny bastards or 5/3/1. Read defrancos article and follow as outlined, buy the 5/3/1 book and follow as outlined.

I'm with Lou on this one. Way too much volume in my opinion. Look into a proven program and stick to it for at least 6 weeks and see what it does for you.

If that's not your thing, I'd recommend keeping your gym time under 60 minutes. Hit it hard, keep rest intervals relatively short (less than 90 seconds) and go to failure. Pick 3-4 exercises per muscle group and keep it under 16 sets for each bodypart. It's not how long you're in the gym, but how efficacious your time spent there is.

On a serious note, 5x5 is a good way to go, use the gym to supplement your diet, thats where you're gonna grow, sometimes less is more
