Life Any working out advice?

So I bought a set of dumbbells today. I don't really know what to do with them, though. :-)

I've been doing some studying. I want to focus on upper-body strength, mostly. But this is the exercises I think I'm gonna do.

Bench Presses
Bent-over rows
Shoulder Presses
Lat pullovers (laying on your back, dumbbells over your head)
Upright rows
Squats
Maybe arms (though the core exercises should take care of them)

But what I DON'T know is how often to work out and when. Can I do this whole workout in one day? Like with circuit training? or should I do a conventional routine and split it up into two days?

It seems silly to only do four exercises in one day, you know. I just don't know crap about this stuff.
