Processor Two Intel® Xeon® Processors E5-2609 (Four Core, 2.4GHz, 10M, 6.4 GT/s) Operating System Windows 7 Professional,SP1, No Media, 64-bit, English Memory 32GB3 DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz Hard Drive 2TB, 7200 RPM 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s Hard Drive Video Card Dual 2GB NVIDIA® Quadro® 4000, DUAL MON, 2DP & 1DVI
I was just wondering if it's efficient enough to do some work on, such as 3-Dimensional Modeling & Animation, Image Editing, Video Editing, Coding, Hosting, Designing, and a bunch of other things I plan to do. Is it efficient enough to do all of this?
Dual xeons (esp that bin) for rendering and so forth is a no no, better off with as said above a 3930k.
No to the dual Quadros, better off to just get a single Nvidia Titan GTX and then get another if you really need the other extra power "doubt it". Basically, the Titan is better bang for buck at moment.
Ram is fine, but be aware DDR3 prices have kinda risen quite a lot from what used to be. Amusingly my 8GB kit of Ripjaws X 1600Mhz I snatched for 35USD is now luckly to be 50USD, mostly 60USD on average.
Get another HDD as well. If you are doing rendering or video editing, then it is ALWAYS better to have a "scratch" disk to work on.
And the operating system is fine because you have more then 16GB of ram which Windows 7 Home Premium is limited at "64 bit". So you will need professional.

I thought the Titan was a gaming card. With all the stuff he's going to be doing, wouldn't he be better off with a workstation card?

It's a crippled workstation card.
Pretty much this. It is a quadro that was "re-purposed" in instructions wise. An now it is the single fastest GPU based Nvidia card.
It will work just as good as a quadro and as a gaming card.
