    yum groupinstall "KDE (K Desktop Environment)"
or
    yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

or, if you JUST want X with the minimal window manager

    yum groupinstall "X Window System"


you could combine one or more of these on a single command.

also,
    yum grouplist

will show you more groupinstall options...


this is all in the default CentOS repository.
