Most of the time getting both Gunblade and Triforce is enough damage, after that you need survivability, utility. GA is the best purchase right after (even before Gunblade), closely followed by utility items like FH, BV and QSS. Build up at least two defensive items be it a GA+Randuins if there are many autoattackers, a BV+FH if you need to slow the attackspeed of the enemies while protecting your ass from a combo mage like LB, QSS if there is a pesky Urgot/WW/Malz that always focuses you and melts you under his ult.

Bloodthirster as a last item would be nice to have, Maw too, both for the AD but also for the resists/lifesteal they can offer. Rageblade is a mediocre item on Jax nowadays, though it could potentially win you early 1v1 fights if some1 is dumb enough to engage you while you're at full stacks and sit there to trade hits with you. It is cost effective but it delays real core items like Trinity/Cutlass/GA quite a bit so it is not preferred.
