Mostly depends on how you want to organize your workouts...as in I usually do 2 days upper/2 days lower per week. If you are wanting to split it into different body parts each week, I don't know much about that but instead of having like a separate day for biceps you should put it with chest or something. A little muscle with a big muscle I guess. If you're going to do that you need to add in shoulders and triceps also
 
What about triceps?

If your going to choose to perform 1 muscle group per day I would advise that you keep your arm days towards the end of the week and perform your larger muscle groups at the begining.
 
Like LV said, a little tricpe work is good, shoulder exercises too...

As far as what you have now, change up your reps, it would be better to do a lighter warm-up set and work up to a lower reps and heavier weight...rather than doing the exact same number of reps for every set.

For your chest exercises, do the presses first and cables last.

Depending on what kind of deadlifts you are doing, they could go on your leg day, if you work hard enough with the squats, deadlifts, and leg presses, the extensions and curls aren't very necessary, don't keep them as a majojr exercise, but possibly just to finish off your workout.
