Whatever file your wp-config.php is in is where you normally want your bbpress folder. That would give you one of two things:

http://www.site.com/ (where this is actually WordPress for your site)

http://www.site.com/bbpress (bbPress forum)

OR

http://www.site.com/ (website)

http://www.site.com/wordpress (WordPress blog)

http://www.site.com/wordpress/bbpress (bbPress forum)

Lots of people use WordPress alone for their website. If you are using it for your site, and your site is at http://www.site.com, and you want bbpress in a folder called bbpress, then drop the bbpress folder into the root folder for your site (wherever wp-config.php is.)

IF you don’t need integration, and you have a website, a blog (WordPress) and want a forum (bbPress) just put the bbpress folder at the same level as the wordpress folder. So you would have this:

http://www.site.com/

http://www.site.com/wordpress/

http://www.site.com/bbpress/

If you are not concerned with integration, and you have a website AND a WordPress install, then I would do the option directly above (with bbpress and wordpress directories at the same level.)

Hope that makes sense.
