I'm pretty new to AR's and want to build a .22 dedicated upper to match a BCM build I'm wanting to do. With that, I am having a tough time getting an exact idea of what all I'll need for the upper...

Here's what I have so far:

BCM upper
CMMG Stainless .22 BCG
Bayer Ultralight Target Barrel
DD Lite Rail III
BCM A2X

I guess I am wondering if the barrel will go into the standard AR receiver or do I need something to attach it?
Also, will I need anything else to make this happen?

Hello!  It goes together just like any AR upper.  Your DD rail should have it's own barrel nut, right?  Slide the barrel and nut'er up!

Got a charging handle?
Does the barrel come with a collar?  If not, you'd need one for the CMMG bolt.

Remember the 22 will be about an inch shorter with the same length barrel. So if you copying a 14.7 AR in 5.56 you'll need a 16 inch 22 barrel to come close to the same look

I was going to use a Gunfighter Ambi CH. Would that work? That's another piece Ive heard a few different things on, so any help would be appreciated. I am emailing about what comes with the barrel, so I'll post when I hear back.

I am using a Taccom Barrel and bolt group on my 22lr.   Seems to be a good value and works well.  Likes round nose though. so a bit of polishing might help my build
