VOILA!! I found the answer. Actually i can't claim that is a real answer to the problem but it worked damn well. So what i did is, i ran bash as administrator (i did this many times before but didn't worked), and i did next:

$npm cache verify (to see what will happen after i deleted some stuff, uncompleted angular package in node_modules directory for example)

$npm update ( update all outdated local packages )
$npm update -g ( update global packages )

$npm install -g @angular/cli

Maybe running bush as administrator wasn't necessary, maybe just npm update was enough. Anyway, i hope this solution will be helpful to someone.
