Bah, compilers are overrated. Be a man and convert to assembly yourself! jk...

gcc is industry standard, cross-platform, and worth learning how to use at some point in your education.

That said, you probably want a whole IDE (integrated development environment), and of those available, Eclipse and Visual C++ are the most popular and most supported - VC++ also gives you the most verbose and useful error messages in my experience.

The above free download of Visual C++ is a good starting point.
