If i have more psu power than needed will it damage the pc or can i lower the power supply so it could have the power supply the pc needed?

No, having a powersupply that is more powerful than what your PC needs won't damage your system nor is it a bad thing, it will allow you more freedom to upgrade your system in the future should you wish to do so.

Gishank is correct here - think of it as having a bigger engine in a car - it's got the power to go faster but will only do so if you accelerate. The only difference with this comparison is a bigger PSU won't use more power than a small PSU powering the same system, providing the efficiency of both models is the same (unlike a bigger engine).
