Please tell me how good is this ram?

Then its compatible. Pretty much every ram stick works properly with Intel z270. If they have the same CL numbers then they are pretty much the same. Won't make much of a difference to your system. If the kit you are getting is a CL16 kit, you would be better off with Patriot Viper 4 3200mhz CL16. I think this is more budget friendly, and higher clock speed.

You haven't said what CL number each kit is. This is more important than one brand being better than the other. As they are probably made in the same factory back in Taiwan.
Based on my google searching, the kingstons appear to be a CL15 kit (please check this before you order). The Patriots appear to be a CL16 kit. CL15 would be marginally faster (2 or 3% at best). Although a 3200hmz CL16 kit would be marginally faster than 3000hmz CL15. Ultimately, there is no real 'real world' performance difference, only in benchmark tests. Don't know what prices are like were you are but my personal opinion is 3200mhz CL16 what be better value than 3000mhz CL15. The extra 200mhz will suit some programs better than a lower CL15.
Plus you need to consider how the memory modules a physically arranged. Dual rank (not not be confused by dual channel) is again slightly faster than single rank memory. Most ram sticks a single rank. The links below (albeit for ryzen) gives a good indication. The second link shows that the patriots are single rank (Please check). The 3rd link outlines codes defining what sticks are dual. 2rx8 codes on specsheets looks to be dual rank configs. The 4th link is the spec sheet for your kingston memory. IT shows 2rx8. So the kingstons are dual rank.

To be honest, if the kingstons are CL15 and dual rank (is it appears) then they are better on paper than the patriots. So there's my answer.
