Do you want to include a community alongside with your site? Then you'll definitely want to look into WordPress + BuddyPress + IPB.

This is exactly how I setup my website (it's a niche gaming/tech review/etc) to run. I restarted it several times getting frustrated with how I wanted things to work out. Initially I figured I would do BBPress (or whatever the WordPress forum was) but I didn't like. I'm a forum kind of person and have always preferred IPB.

So mine is heavily customized to utilize WordPress, BuddyPress and IPB. You'll also want to get a design done for your site because there are really no themes that are BuddyPress compatible nor are any of the BuddyPress themes that nice anyway.

Sebech's example is nice but.. you want to stand out from the crowd--not look like other websites out there.
