Of course there is no requirement for PC to be upgrade it every year, but games on PC are poorly optimize that some of future games require new API to be upgrade it and it requires new hardware like for examples direct X12 required new paschal GPU on Nvidia. You don't need to upgrade every spec every years but to get the benefit from PC gaming u need to updated once in 5 years minimally  or build a new one . Unlike consoles that supported for 10 years for every games. 

No, Direct X12 doesn't require Pascal GPUs on Nvidia. Maxwell and even Kepler GPUs are compatible and can play any DX12 game.

Which DX 12 game doesn't run with a five year old GTX 780 or R9 290X (both older than the PS4 and Xbox One) and a 7.5 year old i7 2600K? Forza Motorsport 7? Sea of Thieves? Gears of War 4? They probably also can handle any multiplatform PS4/XBO/PC game of the future with medium settings and/or 30 fps.

Yes you need Paschal GPU to utilize all the direct X 12 benefit
