Will PC specs become more and more expensive?

So thats my question but let me explain.

Imagine a CPU that plays battlefield 4 perfectly on the highest settings at a smooth 40FPS, no more, no less powerfull than that. Now it would be outdated by Battlefield 5 wouldnt it? So imagine you want to buy the equivelant to the CPU that you used for BF4 for BF5 a few years later when BF5 came out. Would the CPU be more expensive seeing as its more powerfull or would it ajust the price seeing as there would be more powerfull games and better CPUs out there?

So average spec cost will only slowly rise?

You can adapt your wishes,it's also about expectations when it comes to settings and such.

You can also think about for instance overclocking when talking about a cpu,right now it doesn't do a lot for game play,but in a few years when a cpu might not be capable enough anymore overclocking could set that straight.
The expense of a overclockable cpu over a non overclockable are far less than upgrading to a new cpu or for that matter a whole new platform.
The will to overclock must be there and you shouldn't be to afraid of it.
