So, I'm a HUGE fan of RTS (and a little bit of TBC), and am looking for more computer RTS games. I already own a bunch ranging from Sins of a Solar Empire to Starcraft to Rise of Nations. Any good and/or new ones that I may have not heard about or played?
None.

The ones from Westwood, like command and conquer, Dune?
Red classic.

Company of Heroes? I kind of like it, it incorporates a cover-kind of system with your infantry units, it's kinda cool really. It's sort of like squad-based combat + RTS with the infantry units. Really I just love using the infantry in that game, not too fond of the vehicles and tanks.

I have the decade edition.

SupCom, but you've probably already get that. I second Company of Heroes. It's great. Tales of Valor's only 20 or 30 bucks, which includes all 4 factions for online play and 3 short campaigns.

Do you have DoW series? Age of Empire series?
None.

Age of Empires II is the second best RTS ever made imo. It got good graphics (for a 2D RTS that is) and good gameplay. Only downside is that it's a bit slow.
You could try out World in Conflict. It doesn't include any building though; you just call in reinforcements.
Supreme Commander got pretty good reviews when it was released. Haven't played it very much as I found it a bit confusing.
Sort of off-topic, but you can mod SC to create new RTS games. There's lots of good mods already available. If you're bored of SC, you could look into some of the mods.
EDIT: Genesis Rising also looks good. It's only $20.

I'll give you two ideas for now. More later if I can be bothered to look through my collection.
Ground Control - Real Time Tactical game. You have a limited number of units which you drop into a combat zone in dropships and complete objectives with. Can be quite difficult but leaves enough room for error for the game to appeal to regular strategy gamers.
Hostile Waters - I love this game. It's a Real Time Strategy/Tactics/Third Person Shooter hybrid which works really well. Good story and excellent voice acting (Tom Baker is the narrator), with challenging gameplay.
Basically, you control an advanced warship called Antaeus which uses nanomachines to assemble various vehicles to complete mission objectives. You can either control the vehicles yourself or assign a 'soulcatcher' chip to each one. Each chip contains the mind of a dead soldier with his own personality, strengths and weaknesses. Ransom, for example, is an excellent helicopter pilot with quite an attitude, and he will complain if you put him in a ground unit. You can always override the AI chip and take control of any unit personally if you need to, which is where the third person shooter element comes in. You can also design the various vehicles in the game to fulfil specific roles - you choose the chassis, weapon and other extra modules. For example, for close air support early in the game you might choose the Hornet Light Attack Helicopter chassis, arm it with the Scalpel minigun, add extra armour and assign Ransom. The customisation allows you to create vehicles suitable for long-range demolitions, anti-air, repairs, harvesting and other roles.
I highly recommend it.
