K.I.S.S. first off you want to work from the easiest fixes back. so i would go ahead and get a new radiator cap and thermostat. the reason for the cap would be that when a liquid is under pressure it's boiling point increases therefore if the radiator cap has a bad seal or whatever then the boiling point would go down causing the fluid to boil. get the thermostat just to be safe they aren't expensive and they're relatively easy to change out. then if that doesn't work have the system flushed and replaced. um...yeah that's about it.
