Best part of AP GP is the fact that, once you build Lich Bane and Void Staff, you can build whatever the heck you want. I usually go for Athene's Unholy Grail and Deathfire Grasp for the cooldown and AP (while using a utility-based page that gives me 10% cooldown as well), but you could always buy any other items that give a total of 30% cooldown and more defensive stats, such as Frozen Heart, Spirit Visage and/or a Locket of the Iron Solari. If you need more offensive stuff, you can go for Deathcap or, if you build an early Tear, you can go for Archangel's Staff. One great items that you can always slap on, though, is Rylai's Crystal Scepter. You get a decent amount of health and AP and your attacks slow, which will let you harass even more. Also, if your opponents start stacking magic resist, all you need to do is slap on more magic pen by grabbing stuff like Sorcerer's Shoes and, oddly enough, Malady. It gives you more AP damage to your attacks and lowers the opponent's Magic Pen at a stacking rate. Also, having a rune page full of Magic Pen Marks and Money Quints is a good idea for this character. After that, buy whatever runes you want. AP, armor, magic resist, more money, whatever.
