I usually start with Q, then E and W. After that I go R-E-Q-W. The main reason to start with Q is because your E is so expensive early on and it does relatively little damage for the amount of mana it costs in that stage.

I usually start with 1 Doran's Ring + 2 pots, but if I have to face someone with a lot of skill shots I'll start with Boots + pots. After that I try to get Augment Death asap. Even if I'm losing my lane I prefer Death because it helps me farm better from a distance.

After Death I go for Sorcs, or I get Sorcs before Death if I have a hard time and had to recall early (usually with pots as well then). After Sorcs + Death I go for Rabadon's + Void or for Rylai's + Liandry's. It depends on how the lane is going and if I think I'll have trouble dealing with it in the future or not. It's largely situational though after Sorcs + Death, if I feel that I need armor or mres I won't shy away from a Negatron Cloak or Seeker's. I'm also starting to like RoA lately, which I might try some time as well on him.

Viktor is viable with a lot of items, so limiting your options probably isn't a good idea. In the past I've also seen people build Lichbane on him because he has a good AA for an AP carry. So that might also be an idea. I'm not a huge fan of Lichbane myself, but it certainly isn't bad.
