Ram needs to be 700 to run it though 1GB+ is recommended.

If you plan to follow a course of lessons, then that will almost certainly say what software you need and that will dictate the hardware required. If you're planning to "self-teach" - nothing wrong with that! - then I'd start with what you have and what you want to achieve. If you already have a PC with at least 4GB RAM and an I3 processor (or better) then you could start with Microsoft's Visual Studio Community products which are free and are stripped down versions of the full Visual Studio (VS) software that Microsoft themselves use to write software. There are many books published about using VS. Note that the hardware requirements Microsoft specify for VS are quite low; in practise development machines should be the faster the better and also benefit from at least two screens - it makes debugging applications much easier to have one screen running the application and the other running Visual Studio.
The latest version of Visual Studio is Visual Studio 2008 (v9.0).
The .ncp file is Visual Studio is an internally maintained file that controls IntelliSense, amongst other things. IntelliSense is the popup window that shows you syntax and arguments for functions and other things. It is safe to delete, so long as you are not running Visual Studio. Sometimes, in older versions of Visual Studio, problems with IntelliSense can be fixed by deleting the .ncp file and the restarting.
