Can i go rong when i install a power suply that is more W then al my components together?

I mean like this, install for example 400W too high voltage all my components BANG!!!
 
400w has nothing to do with the voltage.

If I am not mistaken, most componets either use 12v or 5v?

Either way, you should be fine using the higher wattage power supply. . . . that way if you upgrade, you'll be ready ;)
 
Your PSU and motherboard regulate the amount of power going to your components. The only time you'll run into problems with the wattage of a power supply, is when you don't have enough, causing brown-outs and failures.

You could put a 600watt PSU in a computer that's only using 150watts, without problems.
