Here's my case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuP9XMIjT6A
And listed on NewEgg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119252
My CPU (i7-6850K): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117647
The CPU cooler I'm looking at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835494019

I have a good idea by that video that there are 2 or 3 places I could put the radiator and its fans? Where would you put it? Also, does this seem like a good CPU cooler for my 6850K? Lastly, I don't need any other kinds of components to use the CPU cooler right? I see some PCs that have these water tanks on the inside and tubes everywhere. While I might do all liquid some day I just want to do it for my CPU right now.

Thanks!

yes that cooler will work just fine for that cpu.

you wont need anything extra to install it. maybe thermal paste if you want to put your own on, but the block of the cooler should have some already applied and ready. the tanks and hoses you've seen in other systems are custom built loops, whereas you've picked an AIO(all in one) cooler which is a closed loop water cooling system thats already assembled and not meant to be taken apart or altered.

as for where in that case...i would guess along the top. i havent actually googled to see if theres enough clearance for the fans and radiator, but without a giant cpu heatsync in the way, you'd only have to be sure you're not hitting the ram. but i would plan to install it in the top as...

good luck with your build!
