Your i5 6400 supports the specified memory types and voltages, so adding two 8GB modules at 3200MHz should work fine. No compatibility issues expected.

It's the fundamental frequency only. Anything above that isn't reliably assured. If you're using a Z series board, that's fine. But if you're on a B or H series board, keep in mind 3200 isn't really useful with Sky Lake since it doesn't gain much from quicker RAM. Unlike Coffee Lake and Zen.

Ensure your motherboard and CPU are compatible with DDR4. You should still be able to use it, though it may not operate at 3200mhz since the CPU might not support that speed.
