Yes, going to a CC and taking at least 30 units there will help your chances in transferring by giving you priority. The UC’s offer TAG (Transfer admission guarantee) for California CC transfers. You can TAG to 6 of the 9 campuses meaning if you complete all the requirements and your TAG is accepted, you are guaranteed a spot at the UC. You can still apply to any UC without TAG but if possible it is a nice backup.

Who can file a TAG?
Only students transferring directly from a California community college (CCC) are considered for a TAG, including international students (those with a visa). A CCC transfer student is one who has completed at least 30 semester (45 quarter) UC-transferable units at one or more California community colleges, and the last college the student attended in a regular session (fall/spring or fall/winter/spring) before admission to a UC campus is a California community college. All UC campuses that offer TAGs require students to meet this definition.
