My recommendation would be to enable only the epel and
nux-dextop repos.  If you add any other third party repos,
have them be disabled.  My experience has been that epel
and nux-dextop do not cause dependency issues, and between
the two they provide almost everything I want.

Don't be surprised if they don't change anything in the
base install.  Remember that the whole point of CentOS
is to provide a system almost identical to what the
upstream source provides.
