Work out looks good make sure your diet is in check and you should get good gains

Try this bro...
Monday - Chest (4 exercises, 3 sets of 12, 10, 8 reps)
Tuesday - Back (5 exercises, 3 sets of 10, 8, 6 reps)
Wednesday - Off
Thursday - Shoulders (4 exercises, 3 sets of 12, 10, 8 reps)
Friday - Biceps/Triceps (3 exercises, 3 sets of 12, 10, 8 reps)
Sat - Off
Sun - Legs (3 exercises PER muscle group, 3 sets of 12, 10, 8 reps)
I switched your rep ranges and workout around a bit. The only thing I switched was your leg day with your arm day. You previously had your arms right before your chest and back workout...you'd suffer in the long run. By putting your arms righh after shoulders, you give your entire upper body adequate time to repair and still have time to hit your legs. The only downside is that two days after (generally the worst time for legs after working them out) is your back day. Which means doing exercises like Deadlifts and bent over rows won't be happening since your legs won't be able to help you out with heavy weights.
With your back, I changed the reps because I'm a firm believer that the back and all it's muscles only grow from low reps with heavy weight. Just from personal experience...
Good luck bro.

Sorry...one more thing.
Save Abs/Forearms/Calves for the days that you are off. No need to work out abs everyday. Twice a week is fine as long as your diet and cardio are in check. But since you're bulking, you may not even want to work abs. It's up to you. But make sure you do forearms and calves on their own day. You'll thank me later.

Would I use my heaviest weight for each rep then since I'd be working down on reps?
Also would the exercise's I have already be good, just switching the workout around to what you recommended?

See...bulking is different. Alot of people assume going lower in reps will make your muscles bigger. There is some truth in that, but as a bodybuilder, staying in between the rep range of 8-12 exhausts more muscle fibers then going in the lower reps of 3-6. For muscle hypertrophy, stay in the higher rep range. If you intend on going into powerlifting, then go with the lower rep range and hit the basic exercises frequent and intense.

The exercises you chose are fine, but stick to the basics and try to stay away from machines. Take for instance Tricep-Rope-Pull-Downs...that won't add a hell load of mass to your triceps.
If you tried...
Skull Crushers 3 sets of 12, 10, 8
Weighted Dips 3 sets of 12, 10, 8
Overhead Dumbell Extension 3 sets of 12, 10, 8
Rope-Pulldowns 2 sets of 20, 20
Reverse-Pulldowns 2 sets of 20, 20
You'd be good to go. You have three basic exercises and add in two weenie exercises just add that extra pump volume and shape. It's a nice burn out in the end and it's not enough to do any severe damage. Now apply that to everything...
Chest
- Incline Bench Press (3 sets - 12, 10, 8)
- Flat Bench Press (3 sets - 12, 10, 8)
- Decline Bench Press (3 sets - 12, 10, 8)
- Standing Cable Crossover (2 sets - 20, 20)
- Seated Incline Cable Crossover (2 sets - 20, 20)
3 basics and two cables. Good to go.
