re: Best Office Chair For The Money?

Go to a used office supply store. I bought a Steelcase Leap (I'm probably about your weight) five years ago, and it's still going strong. Padding probably needs a butt pad now, but otherwise still functional. The chair, used, cost me $175 or so, and I got to pick whichever chair I wanted out of ~50 chairs in the warehouse.

I swear you can't smell existing farts.
