I am thinking of building a pc for gaming photoshop and 4K Netflix playback.

I have a 4K monitor dell 3216q so hopefully I can game in higher than 1080. Does ryzen support 4K Netflix?

Budget is 1.5k but flexible to a big extent .

Why not. Ryzen is pure cpu without igpu. Your 4k res purely from gpu. Any gpu which is gtx 1050 and above can play 4k res video. 1.5k need wifi? Monitor? Or just the rig?

Ryzen does not support Netflix 4K at this point in time

*Streaming in 4K requires an HDCP 2.2 compliant connection to a 4K capable display, Intel's 7th generation Core CPU, and the latest Windows updates. Check with the manufacturer of your system to verify specifications.

It's a hardware lock specific to Intel. A bit anti competitive actually.

Ryzen no GPU atm.
The APU series coming out later of the year.
Therefore just need a GPU that supports HDCP 2.2?

Netflix 4K requirements afaik

H/W
- Intel Kaby Lake Core i3(?)/i5/i7 (for both HEVC decoding and Intel SGX support)

- Intel 200-series chipset motherboard (100-series *might* work *try at your own risk*)

The upcoming ultra hd blu-ray drive for pc recommends 200-series, along with i5 or i7, so i'll probably play safe when it comes to cpu/chipset/mobo choice if i'm to build a pc for netflix 4k today)

- HDMI 2.0a / HDCP 2.2

S/W
- Windows 10
- PlayReady 3.0 DRM
- Microsoft Edge / Netflix app

Havent been keeping track if AMD Radeon or Nvidia Geforce works if you only have the Kaby Lake portion fulfilled since I've determined Netflix 4K aint worth my time
