Being a word borrowed from English derived from Greek, the y in system is pronounced /??, ?/ rather than expected /?/. To preserve consistency between pronunciation and spelling, some prefer to spell this word sustem. Nevertheless, system is the more common spelling of the two. See pyramid/puramid, symbol/sumbol, synthesis/sunthesis for similar examples.
