Stalingrad wasn't a very strategic location. At the start of the battle, it would not have meant much if either side won the battle. The most important thing about it would be it's symbolic significance. Morale might've gone down a little. However, as both sides began pouring more money and manpower into the battle, the importance of Stalingrad grew. If the Germans won, there would be many more Soviet casualties. The Germans would be able to launch a campaign against the Caucasus region. Stalin would have to divert more troops from the north down into the Caucasus. Soviet morale would also go down. While Germany still couldn't win on the Eastern Front, they could've prolonged the war for another year.
