Dev C++ is a good choice, I've used it when I needed a C compiler, it has GUI and its easy to use. But debugging isn't a piece of cake... at least for me.

I use Turbo c++ 3.
It's not supposed to be a good thing, but no 'using namespace std;' declarations! You can get it free here. I wouldn't recommend Turbo c++ 1.0 because it isn't so good with c++ (or at least I found it so).
