Thread: OpenGL graphics

Hi.
I know C/C++, Win32API, and are now sniffing on OpenGL.
(And a mathprimer book is on the way , it looks like i got no choice but to read maths if im going into OpenGL.)

But my question is:
From what I have read, OpenGL are graphics-only.
Do i need to mix OpenGL with SDL?

I have looked into SDL, and i think it looked...dirty and messy
(I'm a true windows-diciple )
Hehe, but do you reccomend to use SDL for input/GUI/sound/gameloop?


Or is it better or at least as good, to simply use:
- OpenGL
- Win32API
- OpenAL
- C++
