I wouldn't say none. The massive increase in GPU prices did spur some to buy prebuilt where otherwise, they would have built a custom machine. Many large companies that sell higher end machines didn't jack up their prices nearly as much as the graphics cards alone.
Also, some miners were buying prebuilt systems to harvest the GPU, then out a cheaper GPU in it and sell it.
