"VNC will need its port to be open, and by default it is unencrypted.
In case you want to tunnel X over SSH for greater security, you can do that also. You should install and run an X server on the Windows machine. There are many, including free ones based on cygwin.
Xming, a Free Software port of the X Window Server to Microsoft
Windows.

can be download from

(VNC in "listen" mode also probably works - I've not tried this. X-Manager is a shareware X server on Windows which has the ability to connect over ssh built-in.)
Once you have an X-server running on Windows, in putty, tick the check-box "Enable X forwarding" in Connection->SSH->Tunnels
Then run any X app from the ssh commandline, and the relevant window will open.
