Basement finishing. How do I begin here?

We're buying and moving in to this property. All the carpet, wood...floor stuff is getting removed. Probably the framing surrounding the utilities as well. House was built in 2004. I've looked up a bunch of DIY vids and like the 'Reno Vision' guy on YouTube since he works in Ottawa (a very humid area during the summer). I'm in Edmonton and want to do this properly. I've ingested a lot of information about the process but haven't come across a situation with this horizontal-half-insulated wall thing. I have a bit of experience with framing and dry walling but am willing to admit my own lack of experience here. I guess I'm looking for a diagram or something that tells me how I should properly insulate and frame in this situation. I know I should use foam boards directly against the concrete but I'm no sure how to tackle the upper half. Any help would be appreciated. I'm sure youre all very nice people
