This is how I start with Kassadin. I take Clarity and ignite. Starting item is not that important, important thing is that you need to take extreme caution. If enemy is not that dangerous and has low range (Akali, Mordekaiser, Fizz...) you can then auto attack minions for gold. If they come close, just use your Q to drive them away from you.

If they have high range (Ahri, Lux, Ziggs...) then play defensive, let him push and use your Q to farm distant minions to minimize the danger, and use auto attacks for close under turret farm.

After you hit level 6 be sure to have 4 charges of your force pulse. Then use ultimate to get in close, use your Q first to silence them, then use force pulse and then retreat. If they are almost dead, cast ignite, use w and try to auto attack.

Max Q first always since it has a long silence and has a nice damage, hard to miss. It is nice to have Deathfire Grasp for him since his W skill forces you to auto attack. Having another spell is nice.

Building attack speed items (Nashor's Tooth, Malady...) is nice to have if you are strong. That way you can duel with AP carries when they are out of spells you can continue to auto attack even if all of your spells are used except w.
