it should be one of the first big items you buy as an AP mid.

RoA or two dorans rings

Revolver on many ap mids

then Rabadon's.

Rabadon's is the key item for AP carries to deal damage. If the opposing carry has rabadon's and you don't, the other team may be able to force team fights and take risks since they know you're at a disadvantage in terms of damage.
