Default Overheating problems

My 1996 Honda Civic overheated a few months ago. The radiator was overflowing hot antifreeze into the surge tank. Did a lil trouble shooting and replaced the radiator cap (which was bad), the top and bottom hoes and the thermostaic also. Now, I have the same problem , any suggestions?

welcome to the forum. Does the rad fan work when it gets hot? when did you last flush out the rad. and change the antifreeze.
