Hi I am looking for a quality gaming chair or at least a proper one I currently am on a wooden desk chair and not being comfortable I was looking to purchase on from DXRacer but was unsure of which one would be the best?

no such thing as a "gaming" chair ;)
its all just design and marketing
what you want for prolonged use, like long gaming sessions is a chair that is comfortable to your specific body, since people are different

a chair might feel very comfortable initially, (especially when you're just used to a wooden chair), but the same chair can actually start to be uncomfortable after many hours of straight use

same reason some people prefer hard vs soft madrases

since your coming from a wooden chair, any chair would likely be an improvement, just dont get to sold on the "gaming chair" as such, because thats purely marketing

i've used and tried several chairs during my days, and right now, i found my perfect seating arrangement, my small couch...

i've used and tried several chairs during my days, and right now, i found my perfect seating arrangement, my small couch, :D, it has the support for my back, and my weight, and is comfy enough i can sit in it for hours on end in computer sessions, and got a nice wide armrest too

your best bet is to try different chairs in stores, but that will only give you that "initial feel",
a good way to find what type of chair is best for you and your body, is to use/borrow friends/family/coworkers chair for some hours, and then determine your needs, and which style you find most comfy to your body in the long run

body, weight, back support, arm rest/arm placement compared to desk, plays a more important role for selecting a chair in long continuous sessions

its sorta like shoes, you can get some great "flashy" shoes, that feel good and look awesome, but after walking in them for 4 hours your just wanna cut your feet off to get some rest ;)

Alright thanks for the good and well thought out reply I definitely will be doing that. I just need a chair currently gonna try out some new ones, thanks! :D
 
If you really feel like getting creative you could do what it did. My office chair and my computer chair at home are the front seats out of a 2008 subaru WRX premium, add a pedestal base to it and you have a chair. Its a DXracer chair but way more comfortable.

Im 15 lol I don't think I would be able to accomplish that. I only have 400$ saved up for buying. Don't know if I could do that unless I buy online?
