According to PEMDAS (order of operations), we need to simplify the exponent first, then perform the addition.

First, simplify the exponent: 2^3 = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8.

Now, we can substitute this value back into the original expression: (-3) + 8.

Finally, perform the addition: (-3) + 8 = 5.

Therefore, (-3) + 2^3 = 5.
