Key items
Ruby Crystal. Next, you should pay attention to whether your mobility champion is enough, our further actions will depend on this. If it is hard for you to dodge the enemy's skills or you want to roam on neighboring lines, then it is better to buy 
Boots of Speed at an early stage.
Ruby Crystal
+150 Max Health
500
Heartsteel
Increase Maximum Health +700 Max Health
+150% Health Regen
+20 Ability Haste
Colossal Consumption: While within 700 units of an enemy champion, charges for 2.5 seconds before dealing a huge strike against the enemy champion. This charged attack deals bonus physical damage equal to 140 + 3.5% of maximum Health, and grants maximum Health equal to 15% of the damage dealt. The charge for each target has a 20 second cooldown. 3000
Heartsteel TIPS: This item is perfect for tanks and bruisers who want to combine maximum survivability with massive burst damage against enemy champions. It provides a huge health pool, enhanced out-of-combat regeneration, and ability haste. The “Colossal Consumption” passive requires a 2.5-second charge when near an enemy champion, after which your next strike deals significant bonus physical damage based on your max health and grants you 15% of the damage dealt as bonus health. This allows you to both absorb damage and heal during skirmishes, making the item an excellent choice for extended fights and closing out teamfights. Excellent synergy with Spirit Visage: the healing amplification and regeneration boost from Spirit Visage further enhance the health restoration from this item’s passive, providing incredible survivability and sustain in combat.
Mercury's Treads
Increases Magic resist +150 Max Health
+25 Magic Resistance
+15 Tenacity

Hollow Radiance TIPS: This item turns you into a steady source of pressure in fights: while engaged, it emits an area magic damage aura that helps clear waves and punish nearby small targets. On killing a neutral or enemy, it detonates for area damage, making it great for fast clears and threat creation when entering skirmishes. Perfect for tanks and frontline bruisers who need to hold the center of fights and force opponents into mistakes.

Plated Steelcaps TIPS: These boots provide reliable protection against physical damage, especially from enemy basic attacks.

They are an excellent choice against teams with heavy magic damage and strong CC.
Armored Advance
Grants Armor and a shield +150 Max Health +35 Armor +45 Move Speed
Block: Reduce damage from champion attacks by 10%.
Noxian Endurance: After taking physical damage from a champion grants a physical shield that absorbs damage equal to 10-140 plus 8% max Health. (12s Cooldown) 2200
Armored Advance TIPS: These boots provide excellent protection against physical damage. They reduce damage taken from enemy champion attacks and grant a protective shield after taking physical damage from a champion, helping you survive extended trades and heavy bursts of physical damage. They are an excellent choice against marksmen, fighters, and other champions who rely primarily on physical attacks.
Heartsteel (Increase Maximum Health) as your first item, followed by Mercury's Treads (Reduces Magic Damage) or Plated Steelcaps (Reduces damage from champion attacks) depending on the situation. (sometimes it will still be better to build a boot as the first item, which significantly increases the mobility of your champion) the third key element in our build is Hollow Radiance (Deals damage in an area).
Maybe now it's time to think about upgrading your boot, invest in
Chainlaced Crushers (Gain a magic shield upon taking magic damage). You may want to replace it with Armored Advance (Grants Armor and a shield), it all depends on your playstyle and the situation on the battlefield.
The remaining last three items are situational, of course you can use the example builds above. But for a more effective game you will need to pay attention to the situation on the battlefield.

Wild Rift CHO'GATH Video
Watch here!From the moment Cho'Gath first emerged into the harsh light of Runeterra's sun, the beast was driven by the most pure and insatiable hunger. A perfect expression of the Void's desire to consume all life, Cho'Gath's complex biology quickly converts matter into new bodily growth—increasing its muscle mass and density, or hardening its outer carapace like organic diamond. When growing larger does not suit the Void-spawn's needs, it vomits out the excess material as razor-sharp spines, leaving prey skewered and ready to feast upon later.
