I just wanted to mention that you don't have to learn both DirectX and OpenGL. It's just that if you want your game to be cross-platform (i.e. work on other OSes) then you should use OpenGL. Otherwise, if you are just developing for Windows, you can use DirectX.
Here is a good comparison of the two:
