Because Malzahar has some sick damage I tend to go for Rabadon's ASAP. My initial build will typically be Sorc Boots, D Ring x2, Rabadons. His AP ratios are great and the range on his abilities are outstanding as well. If you play smart you can pretty much stay out of harms way for most of the early game. At that point I'll usually shoot for a Rylais for the extra health as well as using the slow to help land combos. Mana shouldn't really be an issue if you're getting blue. Even then just use E for farming and pushing and you'll get your mana back so you're ready for a fight.
