Don't buy a gaming chair. They're cheaply made, extremely uncomfortable and will fuck up your back. Look for a good office chair,—or if you have a giant screen like me (40"+)—consider a recliner. It's actually really comfortable with the keyboard in your lap and the mouse on an armrest (or side table next to the chair). That said, it's not for everyone; in which case an office chair is your best bet.
Seriously, listen to everyone in here telling you not to buy a gaming chair. We're saying this for a reason. They're garbage.
Edit: I mean think about it for a minute: they're modeled after racing seats. And what are racing seats used for? Short races. They're not designed for extended sessions; they're meant to keep you planted in your seat for 10 minutes at a time as you take turns at 80 MPH. Look at the kind of seats that Grand Touring cars have in them, for example: Unless the driver is young and never experienced back pain in their entire life, they're usually not racing seats; any race driver will tell you that racing seats are not comfortable enough for extended tours.
Mine is good. But I paid the premium for it.
Would have been cheaper to get an office chair but just as nice, only less colourful.
