Hello. I was currently looking to run Linux on this build

CPU-Ryzen 5 1600
Motherboard- ASRock AB350M Pro4
GPU- ASUS GTX1060-06G-9GBPS

Do you think this is possible? Wondering if there are drivers for these parts on Linux, thanks.

The CPU and Motherboard don't need any specific drivers. Modern Linux versions should be able to work out-of-the-box with the motherboard. You can test this with Live CD/Live DVD/Live USB.

As for the graphics card, there are a few ways:
1. Use the repository drivers, if available.
2. Download the Linux driver from nvidia.com and run the script.

I got my GTX 1070 working on Debian Stretch. It's an easy process. I don't know which distribution you plan to use, but I'm sure there are ways to get it working.
