My default response will alway be Supreme Commander, but it's really not a 4X title.

Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.Dominions 3, Age Of Wonders, and the Paradox Interactive games. (Real-Time with Pause)
Shutdown sequence initiated.I was going to recommend Evil Genius before you said turn-based.
Er... Fallout Tactics?
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."I strongly recommend Master Of Orion II - it's old, but I haven't come across anything else quite like it. The starship-design system in that game is still the deepest unit-customization system in any strategy game, even after >10 years - and it's pretty approachable, too. It's not as balanced as Gal Civ II on the whole, but having played both games I would say MOO 2 has a lot more personality. If in doubt, get both.
You may have to use GOG to get it, though, which might not be to some people's taste considering the shenanigans they were pulling not so long ago.

For awhile I've been looking to get into turn based strategy games on the PC, more specifically 4X titles. I've already decided that i would get Civilization IV, but I'm not sure what other titles I should get. Any suggestions?
