    StarCraft is by far the best RTS game. C&C:The First Decade and total annihilation are also worth checking out.

    SC is the most popular RTS game out there (more popular than all FPS games) and the competition is incredibly stiff if you want it to be.

    these days, that's Blizzard's domain. Warcraft 3, or STarcraft, are wise choices (though, as before, quite old)

    Racing games
    can't help here, the PC is not where i'd ever play a racing game

    I want to play all online as well
    hrm, well you might want to disregard some of the above, then. i like games with some actual content & story - i get bored very quickly of the lack of imagination in online-focused games, so my games choices are usually optimised for single player
