DevC++ and MinGW Studios are both IDEs for MinGW compiler, the Windows port of GCC. You might want to check those out. You can also get the MS Visual C++ Toolkit, which is basically the same compiler and linker that ships with Visual C++. Of course, you'll need to find your own IDE, which you can find by looking here for ideas.
It stands for Integrated Development Environment, it combines the editor with other tools and assists you in compiling, linking and deploying your project.
The IDE is the super text editor.(with syntax highlighting, code folding and other neat stuff)
The Compiler is the monkey in a box that reads your text(code) and turns it into a program(.exe or whatever).
Most ALL IDEs can tell that monkey to make a program from the text(code).
