If you already know the basics of C# then that is good. I would highly recommend that you start learning XNA Framework. Its easy to learn and you can get a game up and running in no time.
If you like reading here is a great website that teaches XNA 2D and 3D.

How ever if you hate reading here is a video tutorial that teaches you XNA.

But be aware that M$ is trying to kill XNA. XNA does not support Windows 8 metro interface but it does work in Windows 8. M$ is trying to replace XNA with another Framework. I think they are going to build it upon Sharpdx.
Don't worry XNA is not going to die in one night, its probably going to stay for another 2 years or so.
You also have MonoGame Framework. its a lot like XNA but it works with Mac, Android, Linux , IOS, Windows, etc...

If your going to work in C++ I would suggest working with SFML library or SDL library. I think SFML is much easier than SDL and more syntax friendly.

I would suggest you start with either XNA if you only want to make games for Windows or MonoGame if you want to make a game for cross platform.
So after you choose which Framework/API/Library you want to learn then it time to make a game. Start with a simple small game like Ping pong then build a Mario clone or even a PAC man clone or something like that. Whats important is to start small. Don't say I want to create a MMORPG in one night because that is not going to happen.
Start small and work your way up.
if you have anymore question I would be glad to answer them.
Good luck and I wish you all the best
