Hello @Jx181 .
The ram memories that you mention if they are compatible for your computer, however they will not work at 3200 mhz, since it will work at the maximum speed that supports the BUS of your computer that in this case are 2666 mhz, so I recommend that you do not acquire them since you will make an unnecessary expense because you will not be able to obtain as maximum the 3200 mhz.
You can put 2666 mhz ram memories of the crucial brand or some other brand:
