The cheapest power supply I could find was about $100. Do you have a link to a cheaper place?
The green light on the mobo lights up, which is why I thought the psu works. Which points would I check with my multimeter to confirm this?

Okay, I will try this when I get home! Also I removed the 6 pin connector that goes to the soft power switch (as seen in photo). Do I need to plug this back in
***ignore the paragraph below. I fixed this problem by finding a properly grounded outlet. No more tingling.***
On a side note, the metal nighthawk box has a slight charge to it. It tingles to the touch. Kinda like when you put a 9 volt battery on your tongue. Is this bad? Once I removed the 6 pin connector it reduced the charge on the box a little bit, but it's still there.
If you tried powering it on with the power switch pins on the mobo and did not work sounds like the soft power switch is out. Most likely the the power supply is good. This is why you have to jump these wires to turn the power supply on. If you test these kind of power supplies outside of the mobo/pc it will be dead and not turn on. This is why you jump the green and black wires, This is your on and off for these pc power supplies. So jump it with a small piece of wire or paper clip to make the connection to test. If all is good you can tie these wires together.
The tingle sounds like a ground issue or maybe something is touching the box
