Increase how much you eat, there really is no such thing as eating too much when you're trying to bulk up.
Secondly, you're going to want to workout all your muscle groups in equal proportions, if you're going to bother working out, go for the whole 9 yards.
Since you want to build strength/mass you're going to want to do 3 sets of 3 different workouts per muscle group, each set should be 3-7 reps of as much weight as you can handle.
While bulking you need 1+ gram of protein per pound of bodyweight, if you're having trouble getting that target consider protein shakes.
If you do all I stated above and observe proper form when you are doing your sets, getting the right amount of rest and all that, you can expect to gain 5+ pounds of muscles a month, I do pretty much exactly what I mentioned above and have gained 8 in the last month.
As to how long it will take to get strong, that depends on what you see as strong. One thing is for sure, after a month you will notice significant improvement both in strength and how your body looks, personally that's what keeps me going.
