You might want to replace a stock seat with this http://amzn.to/1362PDk
I got a 7.3FX last summer, and I found this seat works beautifully.

That is funny but I agree. That saddle is way too wide and way too padded.
I went from something like hers to this off a post on /bikeit. My ass has definitely thanked me for it.
Look for a saddle without padding. Padding feels nice at first, but as your sit bones sink in, your perineum will sink into the padding and you will feel sorer for it. The springs might be OK for your purpose, especially if you are sitting relatively upright.
I'm guessing you are a man. If so, you will want a narrower and longer saddle than the Bell GelTech Ultimate Comfort Bicycle Seat that you linked to. Saddles are about the most sex specific part of a bicycle - men and women have quite different pelvises and other structures where the saddle fits in - so look for a men's or gent's saddle.
A quick search at Amazon found the Velo Bio:Logic Bicycle Saddle, which looks like it might work for you. It is longer and narrower than the one you had and appears to have no gel padding.
I have this saddle and I looove it

Proly taking you on a brewery tour in Asheville. Then dinner at The Junction followed by a comfy night's stay at The Grove Park Inn.

You may want to get a new 'anatomically correct' seat. Also, try tilting your seat slightly more forward.
I live on a student budget as well and I recently picked up this one: http://www.amazon.com/Velo-Bio-Logic-Bicycle-Saddle/dp/B001NGD4I0/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1334242594&sr=8-14
It's very comfortable on long rides and its waterproof. Give it a week or two to break in before you judge it. Best part is you can return for free through Amazon if you don't like it.
