^ The problem with GA is that it was nerfed since last season, offers only resistances (which are weaker and get shredded super easy), and it's passive is ineffective (if you've died during a teamfight, it often means everyone else has too and you don't get to use your passive). Also, two tank items AND a GA is overkill - you won't get enough damage out (which is your primary role as AP carry).

Pick only two tanky things (not grabbing GA is my preference, so if you like it grab it) but it'd be like building Orianna or Anivia super tanky (utility mages that need lots of AP to function).
