Flush your coolant system. Get a new thermostat (they are cheap) get a new water pump (easy to install) and get a new radiator. Why are you going to run around with a bad radiator?

Flush the system, refill with antifreeze, new thermostat, and then try again. If you get temp spikes then, its the pump or a really bad radiator.
