good GPA vs double-major

Currently a freshman at a semi/non-target school. Not sure exactly what field I want to go into yet, but I am planning on majoring in finance and computer science. I have heard from many people that GPA is crucial, but it is far more difficult to get a good GPA in computer science classes than most business majors. What I am wondering is if I should only major in finance and work towards a great GPA or double major in finance and computer science and have that extra "edge"?
