When I say solid, I really have two meanings. First, the motherboard is of a heavy construction; in essence, no flex. Install your GPU, and the board doesn't go up and down like a trampoline. The second is of more importance. The Z68 really works. The software allows non-bios adjustments to the CPU (in my case a i7-2600K) and to the memory. The Gigabyte is a little fiddly regarding the front-of-case wiring, but the performance makes that easy to overlook.

The board is easy to install (again the goes back to the heavy construction), has all the features of more expensive MBs, and is from a reputable company. It also will save you roughly fifty bucks from comparable boards from other manufacturers. I should mention that my original build used a Asus P8P67 board which arrived with a bad chipset, and enough flex to become worry-some when I installed a pair of MSI 560s. I have no idea why Asus feels that a light-weight board is necessary. I don't care if the thing weighs 20 pounds as long as it's works and does not feel like it could break in two.

It's your choice, but I doubt if you could go wrong using the board.
