I dabble with animation/ video editing and I currently have an Nvidia gtx 660 graphics card with an i7 processor. Sometimes if I am trying to play back animations or load a lot of images into a timeline my computer will slow down considerably. Also if the animation I'm playing back has a lot going on, it tends to miss frames and skip, even if I try to play it several times. Will upgrading my graphics card improve this any? I'm also using a Cintiq 27" tablet (a big monitor you can draw on) if that matters. If not the graphics card, are there any other components that I could ugrade to improve these issues? I'll put my full computer specs below. Thanks in advance.

Solution
you need to upgrade your Graphic card and CPU also. i7 3770K is very old now.
Get any 7th Gen intel processor + Any mid range GPU like GTX 1050ti or AMD RX 460
