What's the best combiantion C++ Compiler+IDE for windows?

Asked by Thammuz (9277points) October 16th, 2011

I’ve been programming in C for about 2 years now, with the goal of moving up to C++ and eventually game programming, and i’ve finally reached the point where I feel confident enough to attempt this step, problem is that the book I bought on game programming uses DirectX, which is Windows native and not cross platform. I used to program on Ubuntu, using Geany as the GUI and gcc as the compiler, but making gcc work correctly on windows is turning out to be a pain in the ass, so I thought I could ask someone with a little more experience in programming on windows.

In short: Which GUI works best (as in formats code correctly and makes it readable at a glance without too many manual adjustments) and which compiler should I use it with?
