OpenGL or DirectX
and another question is should I again start learning c++ too or c# is enough
Try XNA, which uses DirectX. It uses C# and is a very good starting point for learning, with lots of available resources and tutorials.

XNA can be used to make games for both XBox 360 (with a Creators Club membership) or for Windows (which, I think, doesn't require the membership).
XNA uses DirectX, and it does not need any OpenGL. OpenGL is just an open-source framework for graphics rendering, and DirectX (and XNA in turn) cover that themselves. I think XNA performs just fine as far as speed and memory usage.
(1) You only need the Creator's Club membership to publish to the 360.
(2) OpenGL isn't open-source.

Since most ebooks cost money, no, we don't have them. There are plenty of good XNA books you can buy; check Amazon.

Sorry, I meant standard specification. The "Open" part of the name always makes me think open-source.
