I prefer OpenGL or SDL, but sometimes when I need a little more I go with Irrlicht to take care of all the extra crap.

Personally I'd take a look at DirectX and using the texture feature or the mesh feature.

But that may confuse you a lot more than you need to be. Also it depends on how you're writing your game, is it Win32 or a console app. Since if it's a console app I don't think DirectX or OpenGL will do you any good.
