I am starting a new site which I am wanting to use this with the wordpress. I would like to have it set up very simular to what you have here. How do I do that?

Do I first get the wordpress as the main part of the site and than use this for the forums? and how do I get them to interrogated with each other

This should do the trick!

Yes, install WordPress first, then install bbPress and follow the instructions for integration. I think these are probably the most recent good instructions on integration:
