How high does the gauge go? Are you losing coolant? The sending unit or the gauge could be faulty. Do you have electric fans and do they come on in time?

I'd pull a heater hose and see how much the waterpump is flowing

Did you check to make sure the gauge is accurate? Also you changed just about everything except the water pump, so maybe cleveland63b is right.
