If you want to learn C++, you can download Microsoft Visual Studio Express (for free). You'll also likely need a beginners C++ text book to help you get pick up the language. Have you ever done any programming before?

You can do it one step out of a time.. first learn the language and concept with a text-based game if anything before you worry about sprites and graphics. I know I want to do games with graphics but it's not as easy as it may seem. You can also try other game engines to help you get along. I've tried Game Maker and simply follow tutorials from there. If you really want to do c++... at least start with C# which is easier for beginners. Yet if you are completely new to programming, use Python or Pygame or even Game Maker... see which fit your style of scripting.
If you want to make games, just use a game maker. Writing your own framework/game engine/game maker is a lot of fun and very rewarding but that's more a route you should pursue if your main goal is... well, writing a framework/game engine/game maker.
Making a graphical game in C++, by the way, isn't really any more difficult than writing a text-based game since you'll PROBABLY end up using SDL of SFML and they both abstract all the hard stuff away. SFML is supposed to be REALLY easy but I've never used it.

Look up SFML for graphics with C++.
I think you should just use game maker though.
I would suggest start put small then work up, everyone thinks games and immediately thinks graphics. I say this because most people jump in deep end up drowning and giving up.
I did a demonstration for one of the kids of my work mates showing him, using only basic c++ how to make a number guessing game. Less than 30 minutes on chatting and he was seeing the potential of what you can do.
