Item Build
Starting Items
you start with 475g
Most games this will be your best starting setup.
If you are versus melee or non heavy poke,
Doran's Blade is a great start as well as you can trade autos and easier last hits.
First Item
Which Mana item to choose is very dependent on lane matchup and preference.
Provides magic resist so its great if you are facing a hard AP matchup and is much easier to always afford a component when backing.
Provides same upfront AP but will scale more AP as you stack mana. (No resists and semi expensive components)
The main rule of thumb between these items is what you can get away with, if you are not in danger and can scale for free always go
Archangel's Staff.
If enemy has lots of kill threat and poke id go Shushei's Mana Jug otherwise you will have a tough time building components and staying healthy early.
Keep in mind if you are vs a melee matchup and want to snowball like crazy you can also try running 
Lich Bane first item for quicker spike/kill pressure.
Early game prio
Your first back should always be aimed at one of these 3 items or components. You will need mana/regen as soon as possible.
- Chalice of Harmony if you are building Shushei's Mana Jug
- Tear of the Goddess if you are building Archangel's Staff
Boots
Always go with
Sorcerer's Shoes , these are always the best option as you don't need CDR and should be playing safe enough where defensive boots are not worth it.
If you are vs a lane where you can easily push the wave and roam and want to try something fun, you can go
Boots of Mobility and perma roam.
Core Build After First item
You are going to want to pick up these items in order most games.
(If you find yourself running into mana issues or dont need the Magic resist go Archangel's Staff instead of Shushei's Mana Jug)
If you are into a melee matchup you think you can snowball on id recommend going
Lich Bane first item as it gives the most duelling power/poke early.
Flex Items
Since Shushei's Mana Jug gives MR id only run this if you are vs AP or if you need more mana.
Otherwise id go Archangel's Staff for mana option.
Run
Zhonya's Hourglass if you are vs lots of AD or assassins.Run
Lich Bane vs melee match-ups or if you want to snowball. (Id run double Doran's Ring if only taking Lich Bane for mana)Run
Liandry's Torment if they are very tanky.
Most Common Full Build
This is the most optimal/highest AP full build.
Summoner Spells
Most games I would take
Flash and Ignite or Teleport but into some difficult matchups 
Heal or 
Barrier are very good options.

Most games I will start Javelin Toss / Takedown (Q) for early poke/farming.
Max Q, W, E while putting points in R when possible. (I prefer W max over E as it cost much less mana and does good damage + mr shred for spears.
Make sure if you start
Javelin Toss / Takedown (Q) to max range spear red/blue for your jungle or look to steal enemies.Can also start
Bushwhack / Pounce (W) to help leash.If you start
Bushwhack / Pounce (W) you can also place in enemy jungle if you suspect an early gank to try and track their path. If you are in a very poke heavy lane max
Primal Surge / Swipe (E) second instead or at least put an extra point in it.
Runes
1× Mark of Critical Chancemark
8× Mark of Magic Penetrationmark
9× Seal of Armorseal

Masteries are a bit situational as far as Defense and Utility trees go.
Resistances can be altered or can spec into more Defense tree instead of mana if you are vs a tough lane but generally this setup will be good 9/10 times.
