Im planning on venturing into the dreaded basement finishing project. And was hoping for advice on a few things. Ill start with what i have decided to use but tell me if there is better or im just wrong. I wont be offended! 
I was looking at gluing 2 inch XPS foam board on the exterior walls with the seams taped then framed with wood in front of the foam. I decided wood mostly because i want to be able to hang cabinets on it and metal is too flimsy for that. I was thinking about using treated lumber as an extra safeguard. I was also thinking of having a plastic barrier under the wood base and folded behind it along the foam as a barrier from the floor.
I am also planning on using a product called DryBarrier as a sub floor that would provide air space between the concrete and my flooring and also provide a vapor barrier.
SO here are my concerns. I have steel reinforcement support beams along my concrete walls every 3 feet. (photo below)
Would I put the foam board directly on the wall in between the beams or just put it on top of the beams? Build it up between the beams and then a final layer in front? Then followed by the wood frame?
2nd. Do i start the foam right on the floor or above my sub floor. and then if i start at the floor level the bottom of the sill joist is exactly 8 ft. is that a ok height to stop the foam or does it have to butt up against the floor joists?
Thanks for reading my rant and I look forward to any advice.
