As a kassadin main it hurts me when i see a frozen heart of frozen fist built on him, why would you do this, you're lowering your burst potential by a HUGE ammount. start with a dorans ring and 2 pots. take q first (obviously) followed by w (spam it as much as possible, no need for any early mana items) max order r-q-e-w. just lane as usual until you get about 1600 gold.

Go get yourself a pair of boots and catalyst. if you're against ad mid skip the boots and get some armour. the catalyst is key to surviving in lane when you have low ap. keep farming until you can afford the RoA.

(by this point you should be ahead in cs. you can easily harras after 6. get your e, ult on them q w e+ a few aa then back off) finish your boots for that +15 mp after this, Next item should be a rabadons for obvious reasons. get large rod if possible first, if not no worries. just get that deathcap. 3rd item should be void staff. with this item you should be able to do about 80% of their mid/support/marksman with this easily.

depending on who is on their team go for a lich bane or zhonya. if they have some decent cc and would be able to kill you then zhonya. if not get lich bane. if you're extremely far ahead i would say go lich bane as when combined with your w can do about 900 damage. get the other item last. Even why i first pick a kassadin in ranked i will usually win the lane, the only person i have difficulty with is gragas due to his insane sustain and damage reduction. i NEVER lose lane to anyone else.
