You need to go to a computer or office supply store and see (feel) what is best for you.

I just bought myself a ULine chair ("Deluxe Mesh Task Chair").

Its pretty good, but I don't know if they deliver to the UK. I see that some suppliers in the UK stock Uline. ULine is a standard office company on this side of the pond that focuses on mail-order / internet order deliveries.

Its not a "gaming chair", just a standard office chair. But... I'm not entirely sure what the difference between a "gaming chair" and an "office chair" is.

At around $150 buy any insurance/repair/aftermarket contract they offer, as the chair will need replacing in a couple of years.

I used to cap myself at $250 for a chair, and every 18 month to 2 years, I was back at the shop getting another. I always got the extra coverage plan, which means I paid like $25 and they would send me a gift card for the amount I paid for the chair. However, it got old fast, and I ended up saving for a quality chair instead of continuously buying junk.
