^ Somewhat what he said.

Hextech is always first. Always. From there you can decide if lucky pick is worth your time (usually is because of gold generation unless you are so far ahead it doesn't matter).

Then you get a Deathcap in most situations. With the new seeker's armgaurd though I would consider that a cloth+5 start is totally viable and if it makes you survive lane getting Hextech+Kage's+Seeker's is well worth the investment since it is mostly cost efficient. That said, you don't need to get seeker's if you are surviving well in lane with just a cloth armor. Or even just cloth+a doran's shield. It just gives you an option vs AD champs since often times Assassins do really well early vs vlad.
