I'm going to rebuild my workstation because maintaining it is now a nightmare after using "recommended" repo's that now conflict with each other. Every time I do a yum update I it fails with conflicts.
I'm looking for new recommendations for which repo's to use to have a stable Centos 7 workstation. Much like Centos itself, most of the web pages are very old now.
I'm looking for a KDE workstation with mp3 support and video editing. I use simple command line tools such as ffmpeg.
use yum plugin protectbase to protect main centos repositories and then you can use whatever other repos you want, without worrying they will overwrite "base" centos packages - this should resolve your problem

I don't know if you're aware of this, but:

I don't use CentOS as a workstation, but I do use a mix EPEL, IUS, Remi and ELRepo on several CentOS 5/6/7 servers without much issues.
Some packages to consider:
yum-plugin-priorities yum-plugin-protectbase yum-plugin-versionlock
