I have Windows 7 Home Premium OEM version, I have already changed my PSU and know i would like to add an SSD and replace my old HDD with the new HDD. Will it stop working if I do that?

The OEM license is tied to the motherboard. You can replace or upgrade anything else without any issues. If your motherboard goes out, you can replace it with the same exact(model) board, and still be OK.
