I'm not entirely sure where your numbers come from. I don't think you can get +5 damage from STR on a two-handed weapon. (+3 bonus goes to +4, +4 bonus goes to +6). If your STR bonus is +5 normally, using a two-handed weapon would make the bonus to damage +7.
And if this is a 1st level character, the Power Attack bonus to damage for using a two-handed weapon should be +3.
The general rule is that your weapon deals damage as follows:
Base Damage Die (or Dice) + STR Bonus + Power Attack Bonus
Since your weapon is a two-handed weapon, you actually get 1.5 STR and 1.5 Power Attack.
Assuming you have 20 Strength to start (for a +5 bonus to damage), use a Greatsword, and have Power Attack, your damage should look like this:
2d6 (base damage dice) + 7 (base of +5 times 1.5 rounded down) + 3 (power attack base is +2 times 1.5, again for using a two-handed weapon)
or
2d6 + 10
Even though a Greatsword rolls two dice for damage, the base damage of 2d6 is all one roll.
