Chair comfort is essential if you spend many hours at your PC. I have a chair similar to this one, and it makes all the difference:

ooo that one looks comfy VCheez.

mine's this one:


not the one i initially wanted, but it was just as comfy and $60 cheaper than my first pick.

coming off an old mid-back office chair older than I was, it's amazing

Capt. Kirk would've never been able to direct the U.S.S Enterprise without a comfortable chair! Get the best chair you can afford.

I wouldn't believe spending over 100-150 on a chair is a good idea though.

Just got this, and it's so comfortable
Every time you post something, I get lost in your avatar and forget what the heck the thread is talking about.

Uh, chairs. Yeah, they are great for not sitting on the ground and stuff. Get a comfy one.

Mmmmm, avatar...

As a user of a crappy office chair, my back would like to say that it does make a huge difference. Lower back support is an absolute need if you spend long hours at your desk!

If I were you I wouldn't buy one off a website but go to an actual store and try them out yourself.
