To simplify the expression \((2x^3 + 5) - (x^2 - 3x)\), we first distribute the negative sign across the second parenthesis:

\[
(2x^3 + 5) - (x^2 - 3x) = 2x^3 + 5 - x^2 + 3x
\]

Next, we can rearrange the terms in standard form (from the highest degree to the lowest degree):

\[
2x^3 - x^2 + 3x + 5
\]

This expression is already simplified, so the final answer is:

\[
\boxed{2x^3 - x^2 + 3x + 5}
\]
