If you're going to use putty to ssh to the Linux box I think you're out of
luck - putty doesn't know how to do TCP forwarding (needed for X11
forwarding), and the author isn't planning on implementing that
functionality (according to the author's wishlist web page at
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist.html).

SecureCRT 3.x *does* do TCP forwarding, however, but it's payware.
