Go do some reading about the difference between Compound and Isolation exercises. You're best off doing mostly Compound, Isolation tends to build muscle (and is useless in 90% of cases except for bodybuilders).

Secondly, chill out on the amount of work you're going to do. Adapting to weight training should be progressive. Try starting with 1-2 sessions of 4 or 5 exercises (that will work your entire body) per week.
Here is a sample weights routine for you:
Squat (legs), Barbell row (upper torso, back), Bench press (upper torso, front), Barbell reverse curl (biceps & forearms), an something for core (note that different types of crunches emphasise [but cannot isolate] particular parts of the abdomen).
Finally, as you're a beginner, make the most of your training! You will experience the most drastic adaptations to training in the first 3-6 months - so stick to it, eat well and if you've set yourself some goals, you'll achieve them :)
