Just because his Q and W scale with max mana doesn't mean you have to build him with "tanky" mana items, such as double RoA, and semi-rushing banshee's veil.
Do the maths yourself.
500 AP late game vs ~4000-5000 mana (depending on if you're runed or not) (or even 40 AP vs 400 mana, if you so desire)
I can tell you for a fact that the mana damage will be a LOT more, and you can take SO many more hits.

Ya
that build is good
except that he doesn't get RoA early, which means he may lose a lot of the benefits from the passive

All that's really wrong with the items is that he's building them in the wrong order.
AP Ryze = Squishy and does average damage (due to Ryze's awful AP ratios on just about everything)
Tanky mana Ryze = Tanky and does pretty good damage
It's a fairly easy decision which is better.
