Maxx Power pointed you in the right direction to start with. Optimum Nutrition is the key here and everything else is built off of that. You do all the right exercises, but if your nutrition sucks you won’t see any gains and it could actually cause a loss of muscle. Read John Berardi’s articles this area.
Second part is lay down a simple compound movement program that you can stick with and give yourself adequate rest to recover and grow.
Third part is read and learn. When someone is educated in an area they will be much more successful then one who is shooting in the dark and spinning their wheels.
This site is loaded with cutting edge info on nutrition and training take advantage of this free resource. I also highly recommend going into the store and reading up on the individual products.
That way as you get more advanced you can know how to add proper supplementation into the mix when appropriate for specific goals. Right now a good MRP like Metabolic Drive or Grow Premium Whey is all that is needed in addition to again good whole food nutrition.
Lastly PM me or other experienced guys and gals here if you have more detailed questions.
Good luck!
