Purification Beads or Aegis Amulet depends on who are u against
Full Dmg and high penetration build.
Sometimes you might need to take Divine Ruin or there could be a game where they have High HP gods in that case Ethereal Staff can be taken. And for Physical Defense items all of them are situational, if u want big antiheal because they have Horus Support, Guan Solo or Lifesteal Pele jungle having Contagion and Divine Ruin is always a great choice. Breastplate of Determination suits Ra so well because once it is stacked u get 40 prots for 8 seconds and burst of 20% movement speed for the same duration, Also those stack are kept until both Magical and Physical hit 4 stacks. So anytime you stand close to your support with auras + your heal you can have up to almost 200 physical prots and that is crazy.
Talisman of Energy and Winged Blade are both good magical defense items as they give you movement speed. Whenever you do not need to build physical defense item having one of these is not a bad choice.
As a mid laner these are the only 3 relics you really need
Jade Emperor's Crown is for your safety as enemy Jungler and Solo will most likely try to get rid of u fast, this item helps u to stay alive and debuff them.
Lotus Crown is a great item to buff your team even more during your healing and after they leave sollar blessing as this ability gives them protections only while standing inside of it. Lotus crown will make sure that they still have 15 of both protections.
High penetration build. Maxing CDR with Breastplate of Determination.
Situational Antiheal Build, this build will be great against assassins or warriors with healing or even vs hunters during teamfights.

One thing you can consider for a god like Ra who has no escape is to consider a couple of alternative items. Personally, I like picking up Conduit Gem -> Gem of Focus as the starter, grab an early Chronos' Pendant for CDR, and consider Charon's Coin in place of Obsidian Shard. Focus and Charon's provide some nice utility that could help situationally to keep you alive.
Divine Ruin, while important in most builds, should maybe be in the situational items section rather than core in every build. Ra doesn't apply the anti-heal as well as other mages that have better / easier to connect abilities. Contagion and Jade Emperor's Crown shouldn't be in there at all IMO. BoV and Genji's can be considered as late game, very situational items if you're facing a comp strongly in one damage type or the other and you're struggling to stay alive in any encounter.
Other items to consider at least situationally would be Soul Gem and Staff of Myrddin.
If you want to stick by your guns for this, that's okay, but I think there are very viable builds that don't use it.
So for me, I would offer 3 starters...1 w/ Sands -> BoT, 1 w/ Sands -> Spear tree (e.g. moving directly into Deso or Divine), and 1 w/ Conduit -> Spear tree (Deso).
I would also say more forethought into which build you use at the start of a match is good. What I mean here is that you're still providing 1 example build w/ Contagion, and I just never, ever think that's a good item for him unless you did some weird off-meta back-line tanky Supp for funsies. If you absolutely need phys prots, and by that I mean 4 enemies are physical AND you're struggling to stay alive mid-game or later, then you maybe think, "hey this is going to be dangerous for me, rather than Sands/Pendulum I should get Conduit/Focus (for Focus' passive utility MS and mitigation)." And then, maybe on the CDR side, you're picking up Deso and either SG or Myrddin, and if needed at that point, you get a late BoV. BoV is IMO always going to be a better phys prot choice over Contagion for Ra.
Finally, in your builds, you might consider grabbing Reaver earlier. In your first full build example, you might consider switching Ob Shard and Reaver.
Conduit is a pretty meh starter in mid right now. Especially since Chronos' Pendant sucks.
