You're thinking about adding more RAM for your PC. The CMK16GX4M2A2400C16 and CMK16GX4M2E3200C16 both have the same base model, but the key differences are the memory speeds—2400 MHz vs 3200 MHz. Your motherboard is a Strix Z270e, which supports higher speeds, so it should work with either. Just ensure the RAM sticks match your system's requirements and that you purchase compatible modules.

You'll be all right. Keep in mind RAM performance depends on the slowest component, so 3200MHz will cap at 2400MHz. Otherwise, everything should work fine.
