Your case doesn't have a lot of proper vents for case fans actually. Put the seidon on the grill of the motherboard tray side of the case(where the 2x120mm fans can be mounted) and let it suck air into the case. Leave the fan you have in the back, let it push hot air out of the case. For some more cooling, use the side grill where the video card is too. Sometimes these might be a tight fit, so check the dimensions.

it's not the same case, but it has about the same dimensions.
If it doesn't fit, swap the 120 in the back with the liquid cooler.

Thanks but i read something about water cooling on this site and it said i should put the radiator on an exhaust fan instead so I was thinking about placing the radiator on the rear exhaust fan but was that right ? Also should i buy more fans ? Anyway thanks for the answer really helped hadnt thought of doing it that way before

What you read isn't wrong, but it changes from situation to situation. For your case you don't have many options for instake and exhaust. So pushing hot air out of the case(back) seems more important because all the components are in that area. The radiator kind of is alone in the front, so taking cool air in is better. (In general its like this: cool air intake in front and bottom, warm air exhaust in back and top)
And yes i would suggest adding another fan under the radiator(right side panel) as intake and on the left side panel too, where the video card is. Do note to check if the last one will fit, cause the video card may be a bit high.
