Im running my 900 TBIrd @ 1098 with a vcore of 1.85v I need to up this in order of getting a better overclock. My psu is only 300w and the 5v supply is @ about 4.98. How hi can i take the vcore up before my PSU has no more 2 give (i dont want it 2 die on me)

I don't know about it dieing, but many people start having problems due to lack of power around 4.8 or lower. If it becomes a problem, see the sticky above "why is my 5v so low?". Hoot made a very good article about this very thing (and how to get around it).

As for how much you can push the vcore before it starts causing problems with the 5 volt rail?....Only the shadow knows......It would be different on almost every system. You'd have to try it to see.
