imo, once you really start lifting you will realize that strength is more desired then size

you will be much more proud of deadlifting 500+ then how you look in the mirror

Deadlift
Squat
Barbell Bench Press
Pendlay Row
Standing Barbell Military Press

good job

for your deads and pendlays you should be using a 45lb bar though

if I were you and I chose to do the 5x5 I would keep the deadlifts and sub rows for power cleans

not at all! you are a perfect candidate for the rippetoe program. you might find more information in this thread though.
