That's too much unless the OP already has already been lifting for a while. Need stats / pics before deciding on appropriate schedule.

I'd suggest something like Mark Rippetoes Starting Strength program then.
Workout A:
Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
Deadlift 1x5
Workout B:
Squat 3x5
Military Press 3x5
BB Rows 3x5
Alternate each one and go to the gym 3x a week. The original program has power cleans in place of BB Rows though. If you feel you can do power cleans or have somebody show you, do them. If not, BB Rows will work fine.

Starting Strength is a pretty good program and simple beyond belief. I personally would do crazy just doing those 'cause I'd probably get bored with the same lifts over and over.![]()

Yes, but as a beginner the emphasis should be placed on learning those lifts properly, since those lifts should be the emphasis on ANY routine, regardless of how complicated it is. And there's no better way to get better at something than to do it frequently.
Also, when just starting he should be seeing strength gains pretty much workout-to-workout, making it a lot less boring.
