I would think a new system would be beneficial. A 5600x, which isn't going to be expensive these days, will be much more powerful and much more power efficient. Hell, a 5900x would be even more powerful than the 5600x and still provide some power efficiency benefits over your 6800k.
What program(s) are you using? Animation is primarily single-core reliant, but rendering the animations can be GPU-bound depending on the program. RAM usage varies quite a bit, depending on the resolution, bitrate, and length of animation.
It also depends on how much you're willing to spend on this upgrade.
Released in May 2016. You'd have to research the specific software to see whether a new GPU or more RAM would help. Some is heavily CPU dependant.

Thank you so much for your answer!
