LGA 1200 is the socket (interface) between the motherboard and processor.
Thank you man

motherboard:
z490 = motherboard chipset (z means capable of overclocking).
gigabyte = brand
aorus master = model name
LGA 1200 = socket (Lane Grid Array, 1200 pins on the socket), basically the physical compatibility between CPU and motherboard. LGA 1200 applies to intel 10th gen CPUs.
ATX = motherboard form factor
CPU retail is $485
Dead end upgrade path with intel and this combo fyi.
Not sure why this is almost a $400 MB. Z390 Master was $100 less. I got mine around $220 and I thought that was high.
Why is there no upgrade path? I haven't built myself a computer in a long time and I was thinking about this combo, actually. Would it be a mistake?

The new AMD CPUs (Zen) are the ones that are a dead end upgrade path.

the point is don't worry too much about "future-proofing" or upgrade paths. buy what you need / what you can afford / what is available. there will always be new technology that is "soon to come" that makes your tech outdated in some other way despite how much you try to future-proof.
I have already acquired the following:
1) CORSAIR CX-F RGB Series CX750F RGB White 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
2) Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML120L RGB Close-Loop CPU Liquid Cooler, 120mm Radiator
3) Fractal Design Define 7 White Brushed Aluminum/Steel E-ATX Silent Modular Mid Tower Computer Case
4) 512GB NVME SSD + 1TB SATA SSD
5) TEAMGROUP T-Force Zeus DDR4 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) 3000MHz (PC4 24000) CL16 Desktop Gaming Memory
I just need the following:
7) CPU
8) Compatible MoBo pref with WiFi 6
9) GPU
Would not like to exceed $500 for 7,8 & 9
Thanks

Pretty tight budget for the most expensive parts. I guess grab a 2600x/3600x, a 350/450 chipset mb, and a rx 580 on ebay.
