Hardware like video cards will any other hardware go up in price in your opinion ?

What do you think ?

Only if crypto miners find that other hardware increase their hash rates. After that, scalpers will do scalping things.

CPU's had their prices jacked up, particularly AMD ones. That trend seems to be settling down as more places stock the CPU's, or at least the 5600x and 5800x.

Some PSU's are also in short supply for whatever reason. Particularly the range between 750w and 1200w. You can generally find a PSU to suit your needs, but perhaps not the 'better' ones, or the one you want.

I don't need an opinion on that. I watch prices daily here and components like RAM, HDDs and PSUs have become more expensive. SSDs seem to be relatively unaffected.
It's not the insane 100-300% increase like with graphics cards, but going from 220-290 or from 160-200 is still a significant cost increase.
Only the cheaper AMD processors with integrated graphics seem to have had massive increases, with like the Athlon 3000G jumping from 45 Euro to 130.

They already did

SSDs and HDDs are going up due to Chia. Chia is already trading at over $600

System ram already hiked up.

The prices of most every component are going up due to inflation. That being said system ram is going to be the next thing. The problem is the market is straddling the divide, and the older ram is starting to have its production discontinued. Not that the newer ram can actively be used just yet. As such we have a finite resource where the demand can only increase. Especially if the mining bubble bursts, and floods the market with second hand graphics cards. In which case the drive to build will skyrocket dramatically due to pent up demand.

System memory isn't going to be as problematic as some imagine. One terabyte is usually more then enough for most, but mining is only really profitable on bigger storage devices. Basically the mining boom will drive up prices of hard drives and large solid state drives. Smaller drives likely wont be affected as they aren't cost effective.

Motherboards well frankly there is a surplus of those. The unavailability of graphics card has had the effect of killing off demand. The same also holds true for power supplies as folks don't need a new one if they can't get the graphics card that needs one. Some of the higher end models have become harder to come by, but that probably has to do with them not having been made in great quantities to begin with.

You can see this reality reflected in the newegg shuffles. Where just about every graphics card is being put in a combo with a motherboard or power supply. They have an overabundance of these components, and are trying to offload them on customers. There just isn't a lot of demand for the mid-range power supplies, or pretty much any current generation motherboards. Basically a lot of components should be more expensive due to inflation and demand, but the inability of most to get a graphics card. Has severely limited the potential demand for most other system parts.

As such the prices of most everything will go up more noticeably once the mining bubble bursts. Which is why it is a good idea to build a new system now even if you can't get one of the newer graphics card. Provided you have an older graphics card you can recycle into the newer build.

Thankfully I don't need a newer system anytime soon.
