I might be able to help you. Download the forge version you want go with recommended 1.7.10 http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.7.10.html

If you want 1.8 http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.8.html

download the installer.
Then run it
make a profile for it then run the game
To download the mods you download them (of course) go to your .minecraft folder then find the mods folder the drag the mods into the folder

Which one are you downloading? When I got forge I used installer-win.

Are you using their automated installer? If not, I'm sorry I cant put links on right now because I don't remember the forge download link off the top of my head and I am posting this from school and forge is blocked at school
Also, if you are using the forge installer and it installs successfully, It will install forge as a new version in your launcher. To launch it, go to Edit Profile then choose Version and look for the Forge version you installed. If you have any questions, let me know!
