I've been working out off and on for the past couple months but not too much. I have recently decided to get into an actual workout program.
I'm 16 years old, 6'1, and about 165 pounds, so I obviously haven't been doing too much and I just want to but some muscle on me.
I decided to choose the Rippetoe workout with some minor changes to fit my environment (I only have a bench in my room, so I can't do military presses and other things above my head) and I have added some things to use on the weekends.
WORKOUT A
3x5 Bench Press
3x5 Leg Press
1x5 Deadlift
WORKOUT B
3x5 Leg Press
3x5 Sitting Military Press
3x5 Bench Press
WORKOUT C
5x5 Dumbbell Curls
3x5 Bar Curls
3x5 Bench Press
WORKOUT D
5x5 Pushups
5x5 Crunches - all sides
Sunday:Off, maybe D
Monday: A
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: C
Thursday: Off
Friday: B
Saturday: D
I have also decided to restrict my diet to eat healthier and get more carbs and proteins - any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I'm am also considering getting protein shakes and multis.
So what do you think?

Is this a good workout for me?

Hate to say it, bro, but that routine is worthless.
-> No squats, inferior leg exercise and less frequently
-> Chest workouts every day
-> More bicep work than shoulder work?!
-> Not nearly enough back work
-> Not useful for progression at all
There's no point even altering it to make it better. Get into a proper gym with the equipment you need and ACTUALLY do Starting Strength (the program you've outlined isn't even close to Rippetoes). As a newbie, you should NOT be designing your own routine, especially since you clearly have no knowledge of what balance is and act like a typical curlbro.
