So first daft question with Centos 6 (someone had to be first!) I've setup Centos 6 as a Server but as with Centos 5 it used to boot into the GUI but v6 doesn't do this, startx etc doesn't seem to work to launch the GUI
perhaps:: yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"
There is no "GNOME Desktop Environment" group. Check with yum grouplist and you will see. And even installing "KDE Desktop" won't help, because it is not starting automatically. And then, we don't have runlevels any more, this means a little bit more looking into details is required.
As RH has always been overly (IMHO) Gnome-centric, I believe that "Desktop Platform, or even basic desktop, will give you Gnome. (Desktop or, using the shortname, which in this case, is actually longer, @basic-desktop).
